Old Boys Hockey goes down to Central 3-0 in 1955

Although Old Boys were picked to have a certain win, the team could do no better than score one goal to Central's three at a fast and open hockey match at Doon Street reserve on Saturday.  Civil Service had a comfortable win over Tuis at Queens Park

No excuses can be made for Old Boys going down to Central on the whole a shrewd team playing better hockey and dictating play.  The half time score was the same at full time and it was after this that Old Boys seemed to lose a bit of heart Play by Old Boys seemed disorganised at times which meant Central used the gaps that opened. Playing at the right wing for Central, Rutherford Aitchison, put in some good work and succeeded in scoring two of the team's goals.  Central's M. Chisnail in the goal mouth made some good saves.  H.R. Eastwood were the pick of the Old Boy's forwards.
