Brillant play by Doug Ottley in 1955 soccer game.

Brigadiers were fully extended by Rovers in a Chatam Cup soccer game but came out the victors after extra time to win 5 - 3. The game was full of interest despite both team involved in some wild kicking at times.  The Brigadiers, centre forward, Eltringham, had a great day scoring four of the five goals.  Doug Ottley playing the master tactician's game at inside right, was a tower of strength in the backs and Morrison played solidly for the team.

Rovers played a great solid game and had the opposites scrambling at times and through their hard work levelled the score at full time to enforce extra time.  
Hotspurs after playing 10 men in the scoreless first half were beaten in the other Chatham Cup match by Waihopai by three goals to nil.  
Waihopai and Brigadiers will meet in the final next Saturday.  
In the Freeman Cup series, Thistle had a convincing win over United by 6 goals to 1.
