NAVY 5-1

FOX SCORES ALL FIVE GOALS FOR WINNERS

(By "Rox")

The first round of the Kotowall Cup was decided at Caroline Hill yesterday when the Army defeated the Navy by five goals to one in a very colourless match which attracted a very small crowd.

Feature of the match was the five goals scored by Fox who replaced Hossack in the centreforward berth.

Moxham, Interport goalkeeper, touched the ball no more than three times; the one occasion he was really tested accured the only goal for Navy, the ball slipping under him from a weak shot by Hendy, Navy centre.

Pearson was in the limelight with his centres which were always placed just where they would do the: most damuge. Martin was very hard- working and at times appeared con- structive.
