6 HIGHLAND LIGHT INFANTRY CHRONICLE.<br />
FOOTBALL MATCH.<br />
4TH H.L.I. V. BELHAVEN JUNIORS.<br />
<strong>The</strong> above game took place at Hamilton on<br />
Christmas Day, but owing to several of our<br />
team being on furlough, we were unable to<br />
place our best men in the field.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first half produced some good football,<br />
although the state of the ground was anything<br />
but in a condition for accurate play ..<br />
<strong>The</strong> visitors scored first, which was closely<br />
followed by the equaliser from our inside right.<br />
Play in the second half was of jt very fast<br />
and exciting nature, but our forwards could<br />
not find the net again, and the visitors won<br />
comfortably by 3 to 1.<br />
After the match, the visiting team were<br />
entertained to tea in the Soldiers's Home, where<br />
a very enjoyable evening was spent. Speeches<br />
were made by both captains, and the Belhaven<br />
skipper in his remarks thanked the home team<br />
for such an enjoyable time, and hoped that<br />
another vacant date would see the same teams<br />
lined up again.<br />
