Match Description: Dundela started brightly but after 15 minutes player-manager Alex McCrae played through Eddie Russell who fired into the far corner from a tight angle. Five minutes before the break Quinn lobbed the ball forward and Willie Forsyth latched onto the ball to fire home number two. Billy Cubitt's 25-yard drive on 58 minutes decieved all and creeped under the goalkeeper for the third. With six minutes remaining McGhee accepted a Russell pass to fire past Smyth in the Dundela goal. In the final seconds Egan's free-kick was fired home by Forsyth to seal the victory over the 'B' Division side.
