The battle of the lob bowlers was joined again.
Bonvalot, accompanied by Father Dedeken of the Belgian Catholic Mission aid Prince Henri d'Orleans, left Charkhlik, south-west of the Lob Nor, in November 1889, and taking a very nearly due southerly course, reached on the 13th of February 1890 the eastern end of the Tengri Nor.
The keeper was left hopelessly stranded as Chris Moore beat him with a deft 10-yard lob into the empty net.
The veteran spotted Acton off his line but his attempted lob was high, wide and not very handsome.
But the lead lasted just five minutes, as Paul Evans scored with a speculative long range lob over the back pedaling Dean Williams.
