Pettyfer was virtually a pas- senger after the Brst few minutes with the recurrence of an old injury and spent the rest of the match walking but re- mained in the full-back position. Point-blank saves Fearn in the Army goal had an excellent Kaine making several point-blank saves from Sloan although Sloan found the net twice. In fact, with Petty fer injured, Fearn was fre- quently the only line of defence against the KCC forwards and the Army cail thank him for their place in the Anal.
Horwood deputised for Soares in KCC's gool and had very little chopte with the three that went past him. Nery and Cham- berlain were steady at full-back but it
was poor covering that let Turner in for the deciding goal.
The promise of a really ex- elling tussle was not fulfilled, probably due to the sudden change in the weather. It was very hot and humid and the pinyine surface was a kittie on the rough side with bare patches.
The game started off eventy but Army 'A' took the lead after five minutes through centre- half Lettin who was playing his usual attocking game.
For the next few minutes Aimy "A" had slightly the bet- tor of the exchanger but KCC equalised in the 10th minute when Reeve put Sloan through to score with a hard shot. Hall-time came with further score and the 1-1 draw was a fair reflection of the play.

The second half was only four mmutes old when Army re- gained the lead. Frusher lock the ball up the right wing and centred for Beckelt to make no mistake from close range,
Deciding goal
Four minutes later, however, KCC were once more on level terms, Sloan collected the ball in midheld and ran through leaving the Army defence stand- ing to crack home his second goal,
Play continued swinging from end to end and it was stlif anybody's
game, but In
the 54th minute # long through bali found Turner unmarked and he ran on and shot past Horwood to make it 3-2 for Army. KCC fought hard for the equaliser and came close on several occasions, mainly with. solo runs from Sloan, but he ol- ways found Fearn blocking his path. They almost made it in the 49th minute when Rosa shot hard from the right wing but, although he bent Fearn, the ball hit the upright and was cleared away.
Play in the last few minutes wan inclined to be scrappy but it was no wonder with the hot humid conditions. There were no further goals and the Army's 9-2 victory takes them through to the final against Recreio 'A'.

Gardner was virtually on his own and literally played his heart out but, once he gained possession, Livo or three Recreto defenders were soon on him.
Very fast
Recreio's forward movements were very fast indeed and but for Rahim in Nav Bharat's goal the score would have been much higher.
In the early stages Recreio were well on top and took an early lead through Alonco, but shortly afterwards Gardner equalised and this seemed to temporarily throw Recreio out
of gear.
