The game was very evenly contested throughout. During the first spell, G. Cowles, B. Hughes and W. Stead narrowly missed scoring for the visitors, whilst Kelland missed several chances for Temuka. The first spell ended without score. Shortly after the resumption a fine solo run by E. Kelland, ended in this player drawing F. Cowles and scoring with a nice shot. During the following ten minutes, play was fast, South End making strenuous efforts to equalise, but the home backs were playing a great game in the mud. Brogden sent his vanguard away, and catching the Blue backs badly out of position, registered Temuka’s second goal. No further score resulted. Temuka 2, South End 0. The referees were Messrs W. E. Stead and L. Dockrill..
