There were not more than 2000 spectators present. Sowbutt kicked off at 2.46 and after a slight play on the part of McIntyre (Rovers), the home team broke away and Walton had an easy chance, but failed. McKenzie then showed good form and a shot from his foot called upon Sutter to use his head and Lawrie shot over. Arthur was next called upon to save and in doing so had give away a corner, of which nothing was made. Both teams then took up the attack in turns but the Rovers were soon in front of goal Turner and Forrest alone being consciously by their good play.
