Gradually however, Seatoun began to take control, and after 30 minutes opened the scoring with a very good goal. Seatoun continued to dominate the play and scored two further goals in the first half. A minute before half-time, during one of its rare attacks, Nick Koenig reduced the [unclear: arreas] for Varsity with a well taken goal. Seatoun continued to do most of the attacking in the opening minutes of the second half, and went further ahead with their fourth goal scored after ten minutes. Play was even during the remainder of the game Both sides had several good scoring chances but failed to capitalize on them, and the final whistle sounded with no further additions to the score.

The second team was soundly thrashed 9-0 by Naenae. This team was affected by the late ground transfer, and the team which played was well below normal strength. The Fourth Division team was hammered to the tune of 10 goals to 2 by Stop Out. Sari Patel and John Reeve scored for University The Third Division, Section C, the Sixth Division and the Seventh Division teams all had their games cancelled.
