A doctor, who was among the spectators, came to the rescue and it was found that the unfortunate fellow had sprained, if not broken, his wrist and was forced to leave the field. The game wAB resumed and soon after the "Fusiliers," in spite of their plaving one man short, scored through Pugh, although it was a doubtful goal, to us, Pugh seemed to be offside, However, a gaol was given and the club, kicking off, made a rush at the visitor's gaol causing the custodian to come out of his sheil and clear. The play was now of a more even nature and Tullach nearly scored for the club, but half time went with too goals still in favour of the Fusiliers.
in the second half, Bevan had a pretty warm, time at the beginning, but Russell was insplendid form and saved him a deal of work, „Towards the end of the game by some splended combina- rise between Rutherford and Pfordten the ball was taken smartly up the field and the club looked like scoring." Ffordten passed the ball from the goal line to the centre but instead of the ball being netted, Smart, was allowed to gather and clear. The club's last chance was a foul given in their favour near the Fusiliers goal but they failed to turn it into account and time was called soon after,
