The sailora got going again and Slipper in the Kowloon goal was called upon to save some, nasty shots from the opposing forwards. Kowloon were awarded a free kick about 30 yarda out, but the kick availed nothing. Shortly following this Kernick had hard luck with a low shot that the goalie did well
to save.

The players experienced difficulty in controlling the ball owing to the slippery state of the ground.
Tiernan, taking the ball down the right wing centred well, for Kernick to heel into the goalie's hands.
