League (Division Two)

Match Report

United's form on the road was brought into question again following their trip to a waterlogged Dunterlie Park, losing 3-1 to Arthurlie. United's close passing game suffered on the surface and with ease, the home team took advantage. Clark was first to score, beating Harry McGregor with a good effort and at the other end, stifled shots from John Bain and Geordie Henderson missed narrowly. Duncan Hutchison was unlucky not to register the leveller with a shot directly into the arms of Fotheringham. Arthurlie's second came from a well-placed corner taken by Ellis, which Walters sent home.

United never adjusted to the conditions and continued a losing battle as Arthurlie dictated play. Duncan Hutchison, somewhat against the run of play, rifled a fast shot past Fotheringham to reduce the leeway, but this was only temporary as United conceded a penalty soon after. Dunlop made no mistake with the conversion.
