The centre-half was going so strong that James Oswald took to lying off side, but this did not pay, a couple of goal scored by the Greenock centre being disallowed. Stark was much in evidence until he received a slight knee injury, which necessitated his temporary retired. Of the forwards Hamilton and Sharp were the pick.
