One of the periodical challenge matches between the Borough and Engineers was played on the Park green. The teams were: Borough, Braggins, Denbee, Simpson, Buckley; Engineers, H. Ewington. C. Ewington. Vincent Kilgour. The game resolved itself into the usual grim struggle that obtains when these rivals meet, and was continued until late in the evening. The players had difficulty in sighting kitty towards the close of the game, but an appeal against the light was not upheld. The engineers managed to drag the game out of the fire, but seeing that the trophy is held jointly by both teams the final result was not vital.
