I'lay in most Raines was of a medium standard and lacked the thrust and bustling tactics that has been evident lately. The main came was between Somerville and Air Force Central. B. Scott sent in a neat flick stiot to open the score for Somerville. W. Watts (Somerville) had a Rood run down the left wing and from a scramble in the circle McLiskv made most of an opportunity and beat the goalie. Air Force now developed better combination and from a penalty corner Watson netted. After half-time Air Force* attacked strongly, but Somerville soon dominated the play wiffi short-passing movements and Watts made no mistake from a penalty corner. McLisky used his paco to follow in fast and score. Another goal came when Marshall, who was unmarked, accepted a pass and sent in a hot shot, making the final score: Somerville. 5; Air Force, 1.
