In be the second half of the game the Island team out- played their opponents and played themselves into position of complete mastery. It was, how- ever, through their two wingers that the visitors were successful.
Miss Marr, on the right wing, was much too clever for the Re- croio defenders, and Miss Purves at the other end made headway with the ball in much the faster way than any other forward on the field.
Miss Purves added the second tack with vigour, was rewarded with goal after a brilliant solo effort, he only goal for his side. It was a one-sidest match, and the visitors' and it was from one of her cen-defence were much overworked. tros that Mrs. Dalziel opened the
