THAW MADE AMENDS MOMENTS LATER WITH A SMASHING GOAL, AFTER RECEIVING A PASS FROM BAND, THAWS BURST FORWARD GAVE HIM THE SPACE FOR A SHOT WHICH HE THUNDERED INTO THE CORNER TO GIVE SPURS THE LEAD. SPURS CONTINUED TO PUSH FORWARD IN THE SECOND PERIOD & WERE REWARDED WITH A SECOND GOAL, A PASS FORWARD TO DICK-MARNER & HIS QUICK TURN BEAT HIS MARKER, STUBBS & DICK-MARNER THEN BOTH HAD A STAB AT THE BALL WITH STUBBS GETTING THE TOUCH AS THE BALL FOUND THE NET. SPURS BACK LINE SEEMED IN TOTAL CONTROL WITH CENTRE BACKS GAY & BAND SOLID & FULLBACKS HERD & MATTHEWS PUSHING FORWARD IN ATTACK. AT THE OTHER END A RUTHERFORD SHOT WENT CLOSE, THEN A McINTOSH EFFORT WENT OVER THE BAR. QUICK PASSING ON THE LEFT FROM HERD TO McINTOSH WHO PLAYED AN EARLY PASS TO MURRAY WHO WAS THEN CHOPPED DOWN IN THE BOX, BAND THEN TUCKED AWAY THE PENALTY WITH CONFIDENCE. MATTHEWS WAS NEXT WITH AN EFFORT THAT FIZZED PAST THE POST, THE ROTHES KEEPER THEN SAVED A LOW DRIVE BY R.LEITCH.
