Comment

The last line reads "The Forrest is now the champion junior club in Richmond. They hold a ball."  However, this line is a non-sequitur, which refers back to the box score previous to this one, since this game was a seniors match; the implication is that the Stonewall Juniors' loss to the Richmond Juniors had left the Forrest Juniors in sole possession of first place.
