The first half was a hummer and the crowd was treated to a clever brand of football. No goals were scored, but Ratican should have put his team one up, but was too slow in picking up a fine pass from Wilson.
After the interval the superior training of the visitors told its tale and they soon began to wear down the Harrison boys. Murray scored the first goal after 20 minutes' play with a dazzling shot. Ten minutes later the clever Brittan got the ball through twice after great single-handed efforts.
