After about half an hour’s equal play Grewar scored the first goal for Our Boys. Soon after Stewart got a second and Grewar again scored before half time. following the restart Arbroath made more of a game of it until Low and Himsworth scored the 4th and 5th within a minute. Our Boys Rangers then scored a furthrer three goals to romp home 8-0. Their first XI’s made it a nice Forfarshire Cup double later in the season as they too won their respective tournament.
