Match Report

In the return League match at Beechwood Park on Saturday the Strathclyde reversed the result of the opening League game at Clydebank. The visitors lost the toss for choice of ends, but the Strathies, although having decided to face wind and sun, at once took up the running and for the first ten minutes had easily the pull.

Smith had the credit of opening the scoring, but it was Wright, the Juniors' centre-half, who netted the ball in trying to clear from the former player. The game then opened up more, and the visitors looked like equalising, but Caddis and Forsyth proved equal to all demands, and gave them their dismissal time after time.

The home team again assumed the aggressive but no further scoring took place before the interval was called. On resuming the Beechwood eleven again took matters in hand, and Smith again found the net. Shortly after Dow added a third and Lindsay had very hard lines with a fine long drive.

Then the Juniors made noble effort to reduce the leeway, but all to no purpose, and in a little they were once again on the defensive. They, however, again returned to the attack, with the same result, and when time was called the Strathclyde led by the above total.
