Match Report

At Saracen Park, before a good attendance, the Juniors paid their first visit under League auspices. The home team early set to work, and in less than two minutes Stewart beat Bell from close range. The Ashfield for about ten minutes held the upper hand, after which the Juniors settled down, and from a spirited attack Woods equalised with a fine shot from the 12 yards line. The play following this was of the fast order, but not of a brilliant nature. Both sides tried hard to get the lead, but the backs and goalkeeper on either side were not to be caught napping, and half-time arrived without any further scoring. The second half was not long in progress when Gill gave the home team the lead, and for a time it looked as if they would further increase their lead, so well did they confine the visitors to their quarters. A penalty was given the Ashfield for Lawrie being tripped, but Dewar shot past. The visitors wakened up after this, and gave the home defence a good deal of trouble but score they could not. The Ashfield retained their lead until the whistle sounded.
