Goalscorers: Larkin, Callen, Hope, Hughes.

RCA opened the scoring in the 30th second of their opening friendly of the season at Richmond. Larkin latching onto a through ball from Armstrong to steer the ball over the head of the sdvancing keeper.

This gave impetus to the home team who started to look the better team.
