Over a year after surviving Fore River F.C.'s upset bid in the 1926
National Challenge Cup, the ASL's Boston Wonder Workers fell in
extra time to the same semi-pro club, 3-2. The Boston club , who
were without star players Tommy McMillan and Johnny Ballantyne,
opened the scoring after nine minutes when Bobby Blair scored after
McCormick was unable to hold onto Alex McNab's shot. Midway through
the second half, Dundas drew Fore River level with a five yard shot
after goalkeeper Jack Davidson was unable to clear a miskicked ball
by Jock McIntyre.
With just seven minutes remaining, Alex Mcnab was brought down in
the penalty area, and Barney Battles converted the spot kick to seemingly
give Boston the win. With just two minutes to go, McIntyre needlessly
gave away a corner kick, which Fall River took full advantage of, scoring
through Gowdy and sending the game into extra time. Before extra time
could start, Fore River were reduced to ten men, when referee George
Lambie gave Neale his walking papers after a foul.
In extra time, both McNab and Jamie Ewan failed to convert easy chances.
Midway through the first fifteen minutes, Fore River got their goal. After
Davidson lost his handle on a cross from the left wing, Dundas scored from
the ensuing scrum in front of the goal. Dundas' second goal turned out to
be the game winner, sending the Boston club out of the cup. Boston would
finish the ASL season in second behind Bethlehem Steel.
