Adventure. The standard of football was quite high though there were some weak spots in the forward line of the Dorsetshire.
The match attracted a large crowd of spectators and play in the first twenty minutes was very fast, the ball being carried rapidly from one end to the other while Birch and Colapton on the right wing were a constant source of worry to the Dorset- shire defenders.
