INF
the first few minutes , who were warkoy wy inspirited work , the play was of an attractive obaiactar , bosh toamna putting a good deal of energy into it , and thair tactics being on the whole very abover . City were for the most part forced to defensive play , but though Shields were very persistent , and their attack undbubotdly well organised , the interval arrived with a blank soore sheet . In several cases , however , it was a very small matter that kept the City goal from falling . The homo goal was not altogether free from danger , and there were a few oooasions when the Ottons got uncomfortably close , and Nausby , Wood , and Johnson had to be alive to Avent dienstex .

In the second half the superiority of the Shfeldemen was much more apparent , and they almost manopolised the attack , the right wine in particular standing out for much effective work . Raine and Portlock - the long Embed , lithe , amateur international , and the diminutive but clever inside right acted plendidly in concert , and their penetrative Lackos were always eminently dangerous . It was atting , in view of the prominent part piayed by these two that they should have the honour of scoring the goals , though Thornley was entitled to a large share of the credit for the second . The first came about 17 minutes after the interval , and was the result of an extraordinarily nimble little foot movement by Raine , who hooked the ball into the net almost from the other side of the yoal post . Portlock's efforts had been the means of the ball going to Baine , but not one in a Boore of players would have been able to get the ball into the net in Raine's fashion , The Shieldsmen's second goal was obtained about ten minutes from the finish . Thorn lay , who was in dixeroberistic form , gave Gill a stinging shot to handle . Gill was only able to make a weak save , and though one of the Lacks oame to his assistance he too was feeble in his effort to olear , and Portlock , ever open to an opportunity of that kind , nipped in and scored .
