The Navy forwards played spirited soccer, but Wallace was starts. not the success at inside-left, that he was on the left-wing when the sailors shared the spoils with the Fusiliers last week. Wallace simply would not part with the ball and time and again threw way glorious opportunities of scoring by trying to walk the ball into the net.
Phillips W2S 2 hard-working leader and scored a nice opening goal, but Anderson, like Wallace, was too intent upon dribbling. Both Navy wingers were weak, cen- tring either before they should or too late.
B. GOSANO SHINES
For Recreio C. F. Remedios and J. Gomes shone in the defence during the first half, while Gosano was the pick of the attack, his speed on the ball often carrying him through the Navy half-back line. but Wolverson and Barry were more than he could cope with.
Beltrão, playing in the centre- forward. position during the first half, was a complete failure and wrecked innumerable openings by useless dribbling. He moved back to the pivotal berth during the se- cond half when he came into the limelight with some smart work
After goalless first half, Phil- lips opened the scoring from close quarters with an oblique drive and in the closing stages Wallace headed in the sailors' second goal to place the issue beyond doubt.
