The second spell ended with each team a goal to credit. The third stage of the game started with some fast ploy and clean hitting, being vrrv opcu and ended with neither side scoring. In the fourth stage Crump, for Post Office, sent a neat shot behind, which won the cup for his team. The final third-class match between Technical School B and Campbell Street was also very willing, the trophy going to the former by one goal. , .
