Playing with some wind behind them in the first spell, the Reds were very aggressive, and it was not long before the Greens were penalised, and from the resultant free kick Moffat kicked a goal. Henderson, who was playing centre threequarter (with Cruickshanks in the forwards), took the ball to the Green line, where in scrambling play the Greens were again penalised and Moffat kicked another goal. Clutha 6, Star nil. The Greens were trying to make a forward game of it, and in this were partly successful. However, Warburton (Clutha half) initiated a passing rush in which the ball travelled from Guest to Gold, who ran over after a dashing run, but Wilson’s kick missed. Guest later initiated a passing rush, sent the ball to Bowcott, who transferred to Dawson and the latter scored. Moffat kicked a goal. Clutha 14, Star nil. In the second spell Botting replaced Brown oh the Star side, and later Milne (Clutha) retired and I. Stewart replaced him. Cruickshanks dribbled the ball to Greens’ line and scored close to the goal. Moffat converted. Clutha 19, Star nil. Star was not done, however, and in the last 20 minutes attacked strongly, and G. Barron kicked a penalty goal, but there was no other score, the game ending with Clutha victorious by 19 points to 3. Mr Watson, of Kaitangata, was the referee.
