CLUB V. UNITED SERVICES.
The Club won decided victory over the United Services, at U S., R. C.. yesterday afternoon, playing the whole time with perfect harmony. There was no doubt about the final result from the beginning.
Evans was in fine form and form a good break away, he passed to Woodward who scored, opening the proceedings. Half time saw the Club leading with one up.
In the second half the Club showed their merit, McMaster scoring right after the interval. This was followed shortly after by one from Evans, which was the result of a scrimmage in front of the goal.
The Services seemed to get going now and from a combined effort scored, six minutes before the end The last five minutes were perhaps the best part of the game, and Powell, who had been playing wall the whole game, added another to the Club's score, making the final 4-1.
