Dorset won the toss and played with the wind. A few minutes after the commencement of play Green opened the scoring for Dorset by touching down for a neat try' which Lennane failed to convert. Dorset 3, A. A. 0. . A.A. replied with a beautiful try by Tory who cut in and scored in the corner, the kick failed. Dorset 3, A.A.3. . ’ < A.A., inspired by their' success forced the play and when Dorset were penalized, Fryer kicked the penalty and A.A. led with —3. Play ■ travelled up and down with both ■ sides receiving their fair share of the ball, and when half time came the* scores still stood at A.A. 6, Dorset 3.

The second spell was like the first, hard, fast football with very little between sides. A chance for A.A. came when' a penalty was given . them in a handy position and Fryer used his boot to advantage. A.A. 9, Dorset 3.
