pass.<br />

scored when the Wynberg full-back trioped while<br />

chasing a big;h kick, but Wvnberg were brought<br />

With only minutes left before the final whistle,<br />

St. Joseph's were awarded a penalty in front of<br />

the posts almost on the 25-yard line. St. Joseph's<br />

made no mistake with an easy kick. The game<br />

ended with the scores level at 3-3.<br />

From the start Wynberg attacked strongly, and<br />

in the 10th minute S.A.C.S. were again penalised<br />

in front of their posts. De Swardt again made no<br />

mistake, diminishing the lead to 86.<br />
