De Havilland Propellers 4 Sun Sports 1                    1957/58                          HCL Premier

Penalty was the last score

Sun Sports completed their league programme on Saturday evening, and in view of a heavy fixture list over the past fortnight, were unable to field their strongest team.
Nevertheless they put up a good show and there was no "end of season" look about a keenly contested game.
Sun fell behind after only six minutes play, they tried to get on terms without success and in the 30th minute went further into arrears.
The additional setback spurred them on and B Kenny reduced the leeway.
Just when it seemed that Sun were settling down, the home side were awarded a penalty, which was duly converted.
Sun got to within a goal of their opponents when, in the 62nd minute Brian Sharp scored with a 25 yard ground shot.
The equaliser eluded them, and in the last minute of the game Propellers put the issue beyond doubt.
