The College boys started off poorly by rolling the ball back into their own half to a waiting Hilton attacker, who picked up the ball and drew a foul from an incoming College defender. The Hilton player scored the opening goal from a straight hit. A few minutes later Hilton were awarded another penalty corner from yet another mistake from a College player.
