R.M.A (Woolwich) v. R. Engineers: Played yesterday at Woolwich. Good football was out of the question, the ground being nothing more than a mass of mud. … Soon after this the R.E. began to force the play and Pinsent scored two goals in quick succession. Up to half-time the play was strenuous, and just before the whistle blew Roupell scored the third goal for the home team. Half time arrived with the R.M.A. leading by 3-2. Early in the second half Pinsent scored for the R.E. The play following this was rather quiet until the R.M.A. took the ball to the R.E. goalmouth. … Just before the end the R.E. scored, but the R.M.A. ran out winners by 6 goals to 4. Teams: … Royal Engineers include … Morris: Martin and King; Greswell, Fletcher and Gordon; Wellesley, Scovell, Pinsent, Ogle and Sealy.
