Early i In the second spell chances were missed for scoring. 'Haycock slipped -when lv a ' good position to scWe for Shore, nnd scve- i ral fine shots were well stopped and cleared. i Five minutes from the Unlsh YjM.C.A. got I I a penalty for an infringement in the area, i | nnd Sklpwith made no mistake, putting ! Y.IM.CA. one goal up. The last few minutes were strenuous, Shore making great efforts to equalise, but V.M.C.A. kept I them out, and the game ended —V.M.C.A. ; 1.
