Lively Affair Porcupine The match was a dingâ€"dong aitfair, in the first half the ball being swung about freely, with the Holly Rees. pressing most of the time. The first tally came from combined attack;,. Jackson scoring on Dougall‘s pass. The Town pressed after this and Ramsay nearly iwetted. from Dunsâ€" more‘s long pass. The Rees. got goâ€" ing again in the centre and Shaw scored after Dawson fumbled| the ball. The second. half the Town played better football and eombined well, but the Holly Rees. halves worked hard and broke them up, while the old worrier,, Fergy, gave <the Rees. lots to think, about.

The last fifteen minutes of play was spoiled,s for the crowd by the Holly Ree. scheme of kicking the ball out of toueh. Occasionally the ball went over the fence. This delayed the game, and the crowd voiced its complaint. Spectators do not enjoy this form of defence as it leaves the game poor from the spectator‘s viewâ€" point. The Holly Rees. did not exâ€" ceed their rights in the matter, but it certainly slows up interest in a match when the is kept out of active play so wlch. near scoring when Dawson pulled off a nice save from a high shot.
