Both Weston teams recorded grand victories. The first team defeated Pembroke Wanderers
3, both goals being netted by W. Birnie who with B.
O'Hare and B. Burke were
outstanding.
The second team now share leadership with Railway Union 4
in Section 'A' of the Junior League as a result of their win over TRR 4 at
Weston 2 came from behind to defeat Rovers in what was a
most exciting game throughout. L. Eiffe had two brilliant goals for the winners and was well
supported by D. Morton and B. Hughes.

In a game which failed to live up to expectations,
Railway Union 4 went under 2-0 to Weston 2.
Weston on the attack for most of the game failed to take advantage of a
great service laid on by wing T. O'Byrne and P. Brosnan. L. Duke and S. Corry scored the Weston goals
and they now lead the Section.

Weston '1st' and '2nd' retained their unbeaten records at
Weston, YMCA 3 scored first and for a while looked as if they might pull off a
surprise win. Goals from J.
Black (2) and W. Birnie, however, soon put Weston on
top and although YMCA scored again from a short corner their finishing was
generally weak and K. Duke got a fourth goal for Weston almost on time.
L. Duke and L. Eiffe were the
scorers in Weston 2's win over Monkstown 4 by 2-1.

Weston suffered their first defeat of the season when
conquered by Pembroke Wanderers 2 (4-2).

2-0 after the first twenty minutes.
Pembroke excellently skippered by B. Atkinson gradually got the upper
hand and equalised shortly after half-time.
A leading role in the fight back was played by W. Lee who got three
goals, the other coming from B. Huet.

Inter Cup Weston
1 (4) Air Corps 2 (2)
Air Corps, undefeated this season for so long, suffered
their second successive defeat when ousted from the Intermediate Cup by Weston,
the latter club thus retaining their unbeaten Home record which has lasted
since they entered competitive Hockey four years ago. An early goal by Lynam
was just the tonic the Weston team needed and half-backs Smith, E. Duke and
Cunningham giving excellent support they got a second from W. Birnie and a third from a glorious reverse Strike shot by right winger K. Duke before the
interval. In the second-half Air Corps
piled on the pressure. M. Dunne and
M. O'Regan hit top form in the half-back line and
McCarthy and Ryan narrowed the gap to a single goal. However Black then moved into the centre
from outside right, picked up a loose ball, and having slipped two defenders
calmly beat the goalkeeper and thus booked Weston's passage to the next round.

In the Junior League, Weston 2 defeated Dublin University
4 (2-1) to finish a point ahead of Trinity and qualify for the final against Aer Lingus.
Evening Herald
-------------------------------------------
Last Saturday should have seen the close of the Junior
Hockey season, but did not, for of the three League Finals only one produced a
definite result, Weston 2 defeating Aer Lingus in the Junior decider by
1-0. Even this match almost went to
extra time for as the final whistle blew a drive by Kelly of Aer Lingus drilled into the net
mere seconds too late. So the goal
scored by Louis Eiffe in the second-half gave the
honours to Weston.
Weston 1 also made sure of their place in the sun by
defeating YMCA (5-1) and went on to meet Air Corps in the Intermediate Final in
which, however, they had to be satisfied with sharing two goals, the scorers
being Grant for Air Corps and O'Hare for Weston.
