One Of Best Football
Matches This Season
(By ROBIN)
ONE OF THE BIGGEST UPSETS and, incidentally, one of the test games of the season, was witnessed at Causeway Bay on Satur« day when the Navy defeated Middlesex by the odd goal in seven in a Senior League football match.
24
The greatest surprise was that despite the absence of regular senior players, the reserves gave splendid performances and, it can be said. Navy well deserved their win..
Armstrong, at right wing, was the EASTERN DEFEAT
Navy find in the forward line, his cross-kicking was almost to per-
rection, resulting in both the Navy's
equaliser and winning goals. His speed and clever footwork gave the soldiers' defence an anxious time. Sull, partnered by Bellis, proved almost impregnable, the former's
play being splendid to watch.
Dixon and Honeywell, in the half-back Iine, gave the forwards; every support. Webster who led the left half position was not in form.
Belts, Hunt and Thorburn cum- bined well in attack.
TWO RESERVES The Middlesex, flelded a team with two reserves, Bright being, stili on the injured list. His position
