During the first half it may almost be said the Club had it all their own way and scored a goals to nothing. The soldiers played without combination and, to a certain extent, without interest.

The result was that the Club suddenly. well in hand and victory a sured, they had to devote all their energies to saving the match against a team who were running through them in a most dangerous manner. As is almost in- variably the case when this state of things happens the Club, to a certain extent fell to pieces and before they knew where they were three more goals had been scored against them working all they knew, got a little flurried and disorganized and were unable to resist the deter mined on-slaught which was made on their goal. There isno doubt that the fact of 3 or 4 men being: more or less hors de combat rendered the soldiers task casier, but the probability is that the soldiers. would have drawn the match anyway. The great feature of the soldiers. play in the second half was individual dash on the part of two or three men.
There was a good deal of imping going on on the part of the soldiers and to this fact some of the Club's injuries are be traced, it was regrettable and should have been stopped by the Referee but, notwithstanding, the Fusiliers fully deserved their success and we heartily congratulate then upon it.
