Half-time: No score.

On resuming Russell took the ball up the field and got a corner but as usual nothing resulted. Winter stopped two shots from Reid, and from a third he fell on the ground with the ball. In a melee the referee gave foul a against the City for kicking him, and the game had to be halted for a minute while the goalkeeper received attention. Directly afterwards Fenwick took a pot shot and scored for the City. Good sell was kicked and had to retire. Just a few seconds before the final whistle went Winter made a weak attempt at a save and Sellick headed a second goal for the City, who won by two goals to nil.
