notes

Play was restricted to 35 minutes per half and our goal times reflect this. Re the second goal, the GH reports that “ultimately Johnstone put the finishing touch to some well-combined play in front of the strangers goal.” The EC is not so clear: “Buchanan, Paul and Marshall effected a fine combined run … the ball rebounded off the post and went through.” We go with the positive identification of Johnston per the GH.
