This replayed tie on Saturday was fought out under ideal conditions.
Corinthians fielded a strong team, but failed to beat the Sun, who won a keenly contested game by two goals to one.
Aided by the wind, the Sun were the first to attack, and were met by a stubborn defence.
Corinthians attacked in turn, and Winters broke away and scored a great goal.
The Sun were soon on terms, Monger netting from close range.
Both defences were playing strongly, and the forwards were given little scope.
In the second half Corinthians tried hard to score, but the Sun's backs and goalkeeper were able to deal with everything that came their way.
The Sun, with ten men, were able to do their share of attacking, and from a centre by Thorne. Goodman gave them the lead.
Following this, Thorne hit the post after a good run.
P,Winters and W. Buckingham were the outstanding men in the Corinthians team, the former hit the post on two occasions.
