At the start Mackay's six made some great rashes on their opponents goal and were neir scoring, but when the players settled down Moberly's men proved the bitter balanced. They climately won by a goal to nothing but the diffrence would bare bees greater if Mo berly (centre) and Seth (eft wing) had not been so selfish.
