MIDDLESEX BEAT ROYALS IN SMALL UNITS FINAL O'Mahoney Scores Winning Goal Late In Game Auld, Falconer And K.C.C. BEAT
Fleming Play Well For Losers
A CLEAN AND HARD fought soccer game was witnessed at Sookunpoo yesterday when H.Q. Com- pany, Middlesex, beat "D" Company, Royal Scots, by the only goal scored by O'Mahoney in the last few minutes of the match in the Final of the Army Small Units Football Competition.
Royals may be considered unfortunate in a way. They had most of the game and it was only for a short period of the second half that Middlesex did any real pressing.

Fleming, ut right-half, played a sound game. He was rarely beat- en for possession and displayed good ball control and coolness at¦ all times. In the pivotal pos)- tion Falconer never shirked in his tackling and was prominent with his hard clearances. Gibb, at left- half, did all that was expected of him and held Moggeridge well
