Chatham Cup Hopes Dashed

For the second time in three years, Gisborne's Eastern Union Soccer team lost their Chatham Cup chances to Auckland's Eastern Suburbs, with a decisive score of three-nil. Despite everything captain Ken Armstrong tried, including bringing his backs up to supplement an all-out forward attack, Suburbs' defence was too strong.
