Technical College Old Boys at Seatoun Park, five goals being scored in the first half and four in the second. , Technical, who showed flashes of promise against ai stronger side, failed to score. Seatoun s form was outstanding for an opening same. Forwards and halves combined sweetly, ball-control and. positional olav were excellent, and the shooting was clever. Conditions generally made for good football, although the wind was tricky for high punts. ~ vAg .-.+ Seatoun have always been the hardest of nuts to crack in their home games, and the value of solid training before the start of a season was quickly apparent. The front line, adopting the short-passing game, carved its way through the Technical defence time and again: unlike some of the Technical men. the forwards did not make the mistake of letting the ball outdistance them A good centre from right wing gave Salt, the inside-right, his first goal, and he got another shortly afterwards in a tussle with the keeper. Gendall came across from the left wing for the next, and in the last ten minutes of the half Johnson, the centreforward, scored a brace. Apart from slightly more opposition by Technical, the second half was a repetition of the first. . Tanner (insideleft) got the first with a snap-shot, Johnson and Edmunds followed with headers, and Gendall got his second just before the whistle. Seatoun 9, Technical 0.8. 0. The referee was Mr. x-.
