The drama of this exciting first division football match at Cause- way Bay yesterday was the last- minute effort of the Navy to save a point. And they went very near to doing it after the High- landers had put themselves into what apeared to be an impregn- ablo position by leading 4-1.
A high wind proved tantalising and had a drastic effect upon the ex- changes. It helped the Seaforths to pile on a three-goal lead at the in- terval, and it was an important in- but strument in Navy's belated courageous recovery late in the game,
Despite this factor, some admirable football was served up by both teams. The open passing game was preferred and its value quickly de- and monstrated. Because of this, the tricky wind, defences were hard put to keep their goals intact, and while the forwards were prepared to shoot with any degree of accuracy, goals were always coming.
Samson was a worthy deputy for Miller as leader of the soldiers' attack and he had two good men with hin In McGuigan and Ayres. Webster gave a polished display at full back and Steele was also in the limelight.
Navy were splendily served by Love and Cant the wing halves, while Wallbec, Stevenson and Black, who scored the goals, were the pick of the forward line.
