botter The K.O.S.B. had record in the tournament. than their opponents, and their team contained Lance-Corporal J. Jones, the Irish amateur interpa- tional, and Sergeant J, McGowan, who has played for the Army in almost every match this But yesterday they never as a team quialeno their opponents, who at times showed the better combina tion. The Warwickshire Regiment suffered on occasion from a lapse of form, whereas the K.O.S.B., although playing the more indivi dualistic game, never lost an oppor- tunity. It was their opportunism which gave them their first goal. Joyce, the Warwickshire Regiment's goalkeeper, who played particularly well all through the game, had cleared several dangerous shots, and seemed quite capable of dealing with anything that came to him. But he was beaten by Hayward, his own left back, who deflected a earner kick, which he should have left to the goalkeeper's right hand, across the front of his goal. Grice sprang to the ball, and so scored the only goal of the first half.
In the second half the War- wickshire Regiment, with a strong wind behind them, presseil persis- tently. Twice Lewin, the K.O.S.B. goal-keeper, was Beaten by the ball, but on each occasion Robert- son got back and trapped the ball as it was crossing the line. Finally, the Warwickshire Regi- tent did score, but it was from a penalty-kick Laken by Franks. Some 10 minutes later the War- wickshire Regiment scored again after one of the best passing move. ments
