Murrayfield Racers took the ice before their biggest crowd of the season and proceeded to celebrate by beating their old rivals, the Dynamos, by a handsome thirteen goal margin. Racers opened the scoring within two minutes with Reilly being the marksman, and further goals from Kerr, Hare and Lovell gave the Edinburgh side a four goal lead at the first interval.

In the second period, Reilly, Kerr, McMillan and Colvin all added to Racers tally. From midway through this period to after the change round in the final frame Racers found McKay in the Dynamos nets unbeatable, and it was not until the last eight minutes that the Murrayfield men again found a way past him.
