Match Report

This tie in the seventh round of the national competition was responsible for a large attendance at Kilbowie Park, and the spectators must have been well pleased with the fare provided. Scientific or combined play was at a discount, but this was amply atoned for by the energy which both teams imparted into their play. There was scarcely a dull moment during the entire ninety minutes, and that there were no goals scored is a tribute to the defenders. The Alva boys were the more aggressive lot in the first half, and had many tries at Wakeman, but the keeper rose to the occasion, and dealt with all kinds of shots in clever fashion. The Juniors were easily the better team in the second half, and at times fairly bombarded the Rangers' goal, but Monks was in irresistible form, and came to the rescue of his side when all else were beaten. He had able support from his backs, and, with the aid of a good slice of luck, managed to prevent a score. The outstanding feature of the game was undoubtedly the brilliant defence of the Rangers in the closing stage, and of the lot Monks and Wotherspoon deserve special mention.
