Turner played a sound game and his three-quarters away in good style.

Plummer was apt to fumble his passes and was inclin- ed to send out very low passes to Lammert. Of the new players Robertson caught the eye and was prominent both in attack and de- fence.

The forwards were evenly match- ed, and the Colours' backs looked the more dangerous combination when in possession..
