Both sides had many chances, with coach John McCartney clearing a point

blank shot off his own line and college forward Yannis Pot breaking through the opposition defense on a number of occasions and desperation tackles robbing him of clearcut chances. The winning goal came after a period of sustained pressure by the college in the second half. Geoff Pitts linked in well with midfielder John Laurenson who crossed the ball low across the Old Guns penalty area. Aeneas O'Sullivan had a decoy shot, which left Bobby Chand in perfect position to hammer home the winner. With a win under their belt at the beginning of the second round and
