Athletic Old Boys win final

Sun won the toss and had the wind in their favour, but the early stages brought anxiety to their defence.
Thorne centred finely, and the Old Boys defence had a trying time.
Goodman was prominent with good saves, and Hutton missed an absolute "sitter" just outside the goal area.
Rain began to fall, and a gusty wind sprang up, but the weather soon cleared.
Hutton again had hard luck; after beating the defence he slipped before he could finish his effort, and Chandler cleared.
Half time arrived with no score.
The Old Boys now kept play in the Sun's quarters, and Day sent in a shot which rattled the crossbar.
Twice the goalkeeper ran out and saved.
Day, receiving from midfield, ran down and centred to Picton, who scored with a neat shot.
The Sun carried play into the Old Boys' half and forced a corner, which was of no avail.
Mayes worked into position, and sent into the goalmouth, Goodman fisting behind.
The corner was unproductive.
Play continued to be of a ding-dong character, many promising movements by both sides being brought to a premature close by offside.
Mayes against sent into Goodman's hands, and the Sun should have scored in the last minute, Chandler falling in the goalmouth and saving.
A prominent feature of the game was the fine goalkeeping of Goodman, who saved many difficult shots.
Mayes and Thorne were also in good form.
The cups and medals were afterwards presented by Mr Dennis Herbert, M.P.
