The Somersets were more leg weary than their opponents, and Hall had a vast amount of work to get through. The first goal came some ten minutes from the atart, Wong Pak-chong taking n perfectly placed centre, and side- footing it past Hall from close range.
The Soniersets warmed up after the interval, when the score was unchanged, and had they pressed home their attack would have won by a fair margin. For a long period the, Athletic were penned in their own half of the field, but the Somersets did not look like a scoring side, their forwards throwing away good opportunities by wild kicking and sometimes aimlesu passing.
The equaliser came twenty minutes from the end, Bewley Bull putting in a long dropping shot, which deceived Chah Shek-pui, struck the inside of the far post and rebounded into goal.

Hayward again played well, but This partner was rather erratic. The Somersets were handicapped by an injury to Knapp, which allowed the Chinese left wing much freer scope.
