Longbottom, White; Nicolle, Dunsmuir, Janes, Marshall, Watt. . Referee: Mr. N. Brian. Waterside took the field one,man short, but after ten minutes' play Watt, a fourthgrade -youngster, filled the gap. A swift, low left-footer by Janes was saved by Wyatt at the foot of the post, then from a perfect corner Nicollo unaccountably missed the ball altogether. After Gibb and Trewick had missed narrowly. IT. Caisley received from the right; tricking a couple of men, he opened the scoring with a fast grounder. Consistent clearances by E. Longbottom marked play at this- stage. Backed by A. Longbottom and Nicolle Waterside set up a fierce attack, well worth a coal, but the ball was luckily blocked. Trewick was a source of trouble to the visitors, the bar stopping one hard shot, and White heading out another likely effort. Janes again battled hard on his own to get through, eventually switching a fine try just past. From good play on the Hospital right Abernethy took the ball well upfield, but Thomson brought it straight, back. GibU centred strongly, and from a scramble in Waterside goal Trewick piloted the ball into the not. making the interval scores: HospiUl '-.

Gibbons saved smartly from Todd, Webster'..and .Gibb in turn. A Nicolle dash was spoilt by offside, while likely shbts-by Watt and Dunsmuir found Wyatt safe. Persistent work by Janes was rewarded when he scored after beating both backs.-and he. just missed reneatiiig the dose in the next minute. After Marshall had tested Wyatt with a straight drive, Trewick's head added Hospital's fifth goal from a corner. .
