COAST SENIOR CUP, CONWAY v. GREENFIELD. SE'MI-FINlAIL, AT LLANDUDNO. A LUCKY WIN FOR THE JACKDAWS. (BY "VIGILANT.") This long-expected tie came off on Saturday at Llandudno,, under the most pleasant conditions. The weather was spring-like and warm, and the turf in splendid condition. Everything tended toward a good struggle between the Carnarvon- shire and Flintshire teams, both of which. have had oup-tie experiences on the LlaiDJdudno en- closure before Saturday. The Greenfinches are warm favourites in this seaside resort, for they 'have made gallant struggles, with Holyhead in the same cup contest. There would be over a thousand persons pre- sent, and the gate realised ^23 131s. The Green On.es had the colours of Chester Castles, green and black quarters, and looked very effective. The Jackdaws appeared in their well-known sky- blue, and were neat and distinctive. I do. not think there were many followers, of the Green Ones present, butt as to' Conway, I should say that all Conway and his wife were there. The Conovium supporters sported bouquets of violets and ivy lea,ves painted with gold. Further, there was a profusion of blue cards to be seen with the exhortation, Play up, Conway," thereon. As I have said before, the Jackdaws had looked forward with great interest to' the tie, and were confident of their ability to con- quer their Flintshire rivals. « # Conway played Chase in the forward ranks again, he partnering Sam Parry on the left wing. 'Bob Owen- was not really fit to turn out, but could not withstand the strong wishes that he should be there, if only to be an aider of the Bilues in (Defeating Greenfield. The Greenfield team was, to the general, regret of the spectators,, without the little Welsh Amateur International, George Petrie. He was injured, on the previous Saturday, and not recove.red. sufficiently well to play. His, place was taken by Dan Parry, who is also an excellent player. On the extreme left of the forward line was, Robert Bruce, Petrie (Georgie's younger brother), and who. is the seventh, son of his father, who was also, a seventh son of the family. R. B. Petrie is affec- tionately called Biniks," is a nice lad of eighteen, and inherits the Petrie instinct for the game of football. The following were the respective sides, under the command of Referee Slater — Conway: Llew Parry, goal; Tom. Jones and Now Ellis, backs.; Bob Oiwen, Johnson, and Thompson, halves; Craven, Atherton, Ernest Parry, Ernest Clhase, and Sam Parry, forwards. Greenfield Peers, goal; Peters and Furnival, backs; Jack George, R. E. Jones, and Norman Jones, halves Dan Parry, Thomas Evans, Sam Frost, D. Griffiths ,and Binks Petrie, for- wards. The opening stages of the contest were sensa- tional. Right from the kick off the Jackdaws made away on the left, and Chase volleyed a long shot at Peers, who. seemed to be so taken aback, that he cleared with difficulty. The Jack- daws, however, were effervescent in their move- ments,, and Peers had, in a trice, to handle again. This extraordinary spurt on the part of the Blues seemed to infuse life into, the other side, and gradually, but steadily, the Greenfield players were giving an exhibition of what they are well-known for, cleverness with the ball, and playing a pleasing, fast, and persistent game. Fouls, or offside, were frequently given against Conway, and these prevented a game with a pleasing coherence about it. Neither E. Parry, or the right wing were able to do much, and their opponents were showing by far the better game. The opening stages, were thought to be an index by the Conway men of their earnest for victory, but the subsequent play, generally of the Conoviums, was of a very mediocre charac- ter, unless, it be the fine defensive and never- failing work, of Tom Jones, who was in great form. < < Shouts of Play up, the. Blues," and Play up, the Greens," were heard from many leatfaer- lurnged supporters. 'The Greens forced the pace, and gained a corner, which was well placed, and a strong shot by R. E. Jones, from the at- tempted clearance, hit the bar. When .the ball rebounded into. play the Jackdaws, pounced, upon it and got it a.way. Tihi\'3 was a narrow squeak for Conway. A free kick to. Conway was,pliaced over the bar, and afterwards, the game became vigorous. Conway made way on the left, but were repulsed, and Dan Parry made a clever run down the right, sent in a beautiful centre, which produced a corner that was, of no. advantage to. the Green Ones. Then the Jackdaws got down to the other end, and E. Parry shot high over the bar. A very pretty bout of passing by Greenfield was next seen, and this ended in Frost shooting wide of the mark. From the goal kick, the Blues worked down, and E. Parry tried his liuck with a long shot that Peers clutched and cleared with ease. The referee's whistle was heard frequently pulling players up for irregular tactics. And yet there was not the real cup-tie fever tü be seen.. ■* # Conway improved, and Peers had to negotiate two beautiful attempts that were distinctly ominous. The Green Ones now gave another sample of their pretty forward work, and it was this feature that stamped the Flintshires as the superiors of the Carnarvonshires. Notwith. standing his indisposition., Bob Owen wreathed as per usual, with smiles, and the best of good humour cleverly managed to. check the onslaught on the Conway citadel. Then keeping up the game with forceful tactics, the Green Ones, man- aged, per little Binks, to. have the ball slammed right across the goalmouth from the left, and Dan Piarry, with a terrific attempt, hit the bot- tom part of the post. Matters were for the nonce transferred to the other end, and Sam Parry sent across nicely, but Atherton mulled the chance by handling the ball close in. 'Shortly after, Chase created, a round of applause with a long grounder, that Peers attended to. gamely. Frost was working well as the Flintshires' pivot, and tried his luidk with an oblique grounder, but his colleagues were not up in time. THE FIRST1 GOAL. A free kick was awarded Greenfield, and this was so well placed, that the Conway defence was OtlIged to concede a corner. This was splen- didly placed, and first blood in the match was seen when Llew Parry drew the balil from out of the. net. Great jubiliatiom followed thi^s event ,amongst the Greens' supporters, for they were many as was evidenced by the lustiness of the cheering. Up to half-time Greenfield were far and away the better side—more compact and polished in their movements; but they failed to add to their score. Half-time Greenfield, r Conway, o. The general impression was that the Green. Ones would soon add to their score, for they opened the second half in quite a business-like manner, and were often dangerous. The Con- way defence was taxed severely on occasions, and Frost and Co. nearly got through several times. ITIben, at the other end, Peers had to throw away quickly. After some capital mid- field exchanges, the Jackdaws somewhat im- proved, and Furnival and Peters were busy. As the Bilues got Peerswards, there were encourag- ing shouts of "Prlay up, the Blues." And they did so-if not so polished in style as the other side, it was of a buistling nature..So bustling was it that a penalty was gained by the Jack. daws. THE JACKDAWS EQUALISE WITH I A PENALTY. Wtry faces amongst the Conway supporters now beamed with glowing pleasure. Here was the chance--so unexpected and so improbable a short time ago—of equalising. And after a little pause, Bob Owen took the kick, and deftly placed it in the left corner of the net-Peers hav- ing not the slightest chance. Then arose.,a shout that must have been heard by the few people that had to remain in Conway for fear of in- vasion. Wireless telegraphy was, not needed. The Conovium supporters were frantic with de- light. And dreams of a draw-so common to Greenfield.—were now apparent. Hardly had the cheers subsided, than the players were all seen round Mr. Slater, who was, it was said, explain- ing the orffiffilce and, the offenders in the penalty business. And so the game continued, with Greenneld having lost heart at such an unex- pected tuirn of events. The Musselmen, on the other hand, bustled the ball hither and thither, and the sensation, of the day reached its climax when Sam Parry flew from the left, and whilst Peers had run out of goal, headed a magnificent goal in lightning fashion. Words of mine are not needed tOr give my readers an impression of the dismay created amongst the Green Ones at this turn of events. There were only a few minutes to. run, and Greenfield were very near equalising, but the fates were against their drawing luck on this occasion, and Conway enter the final with Carnarvon, on the loth April, at Bangor. Final: Conway, 2; Greenfield,, i.

COAST JUNIOR CUP. COLWYN BAY v. GREENFIELD RES. SWEEPING WIN FOR THE BAY. (BY VEDETTE.") A fairly large attendance patronised this cup- tie, on the Penrbos Fields, and saw the home team claim in no uncertain fashion the right to meet Llanrwst in the semi-final. The day was ideal, but the hopes that were entertained of a close and exciting game were not realised, the Bay showing great superiority from start to finish. Prompt to time Mir. R. D. Richards, ot Bangor, lined up the following players: — Colwyn Bay C. Hallwood, goal; W. Tai Jones and T. McCann (captain), backs; Ned Griffiths, T. Wellings, and J. Williams, halves; Moss Jones, Ned Roberts, Ben Wellings, Stanley Hughes, and J. Ll. Owen, forwards. ■Greenfield Reserves: J. Higginbottom, goal; W. J. Roberts and J. E. Jones, backs A. Fur- nival, W. Phillips (captain), and Charles Davies, halves; Albert Jones, Charles Edwards, E. Griffiths, Ben Williams, and Edward Jones, for- wards. Linesmen: Messrs. J. Edmunds, C'olwyn Bay, and R. H. Lloyd, Greenfield. The first interesting feature of the game was a fine centre by Owen, from which a corner was forced. This was well placed by Griffiths, and a good shot by Stanley was tipped over the bar. When in a favourable position, Ben Wellings was pulled up for offside, and then the" visitors worked the ball down and tested Hallwood, who cleared at his leisure. Ben, Wellings set the left wing in motion, and Stanley passed to his part- ner, who raced away, and got in a centre, which was cleared at the expense of a corner. Griffiths took the kick and placed the ball right into the goalmouth. Seve,ral shots sent in were success- fully dealt with by Higginbottom, but at length Owen found the net with an oblique grounder. Two. minutes later, as a result of clever play by Moss and Roberts, Ben Wellings scored a second. ■ Greenfield now played desperately, but the Bay always held them well in check, and presently resumed pressure. Ned Griffiths tried to force his way through, but spoilt his effort by shooting wide. Soon afterwards Roberts shot from close in, and a Greenfield back stopped the ball with his hand. Hallwood took the ensuing penalty kick, and shot just under the bar. From the kick off the, Bay left wing attacked, and Stanley banged the ball past Higginbottom. The visiting outside left carried play into the Bay's half, but the movement came to, nothing, and soon Owen was careering down his wing. He centred almost from the line right into goal, 'Higginbottom punching out. Greenfield con- trived, for a time to. carry on play in midfield, but they found it difficult to, make any headway, half-time arriving with the score: Colwyn Bay, 4; Greenfield Reserves, o. Pilay was even for the first few minutes of the second half. Moss and Roberts changed posi- tions, and on one occasion, after he had forced a corner, the latter's centre was nearly rushed through. Next Mtoss shot high over the bar, and several corners were forced in quick succession. The Bay were monopolising play, but their shooting was very faulty. Owen" made one of his many fine runs and centres, but a Green- field player was attacked with cramp, and play was suspended awhile. Higginbottom was busy in goal, and brought off several clever saves,. The visitors' goal was subjected to a hot bom- bardment, but they managed, for a long time to prevent a score. McCanm was playing among the forwards, and upon one of the backs missing his kick, easily beat Higginbottom. Greenfield now attacked, and forced their first corner, but they could not sustain the effort, and at the other end Roberts and Jones were soon hard at work repelling determined rushes. A throw in assisted the visitors, and the right wing carried play past the home backs. Ben Williams secured the ball with a clear field, and as Hallwood bad left his charge, had no. difficulty in scoring. The 'Bay pressed as if they were a goal behind, and from a corner kick Moss, headed just over the bar. All this half and part of the second Hall- wood was placing well over the half-way line. The game was almost farcical, and the solitary point that Greenfield scored aroused more en- thusiasm than any success achieved by the home team. Just as earlier in the season a Colwyn Bay Reserve team was outclassed at Greenfield, so the Greenfield Juniors were made hay of on this occasion. Before the close Stanley netted _again, the result being iColwvn Bay, 6; Greenfield Reserves, i. 'COMMENTS. The Greenfield Juniors were no match for the Bay, and the latter's score in no way exagger- ates their superiority. Nor is it surprising they won. so easily, for opposed to them was a team the age of whose players certainly averaged under twenty. The team are members of the Second. Division of the Chester and District League, and have been doing none too well this season. They were weakened by the absence of two of their best men, who, were aSlsiSlting the Seniors at Llandudno. Add to this the fact that the Bay have convinced themselves they are going to. lift the Junior Cup this season, and everything is explained. But I cannot see the Bay beating either Llanrwst or Bangor unless their shooting imp-roves. Roberts, Mbss, and the half-backs shot very poorly. The forwards did well in midfield, but were not so happy near goal. Owen was more successful than I have seen him for some time past. His runs and centres were delightful, and he was the cleverest forward on the field. StaTiley and Ben Wellings also did well, but Moss and Roberts could not hit it off," and although changing positions in the second haltf, were not successful in this por- tion of the game. In the early part of the first half, however, they frequently took the eye. The defence was all that it need be. Greenfield are quite a good team, and every man is a trier. But they were opposed by a set of older, heavier, and more experienced players., and it is to their credit the match did not end in a rout. They played pluickily,an.d have no reason to be ashamed of the result. Higgin- bottom saved many difficult shots, and Roberts I was perhaps the best man on the side. In time several of the team should find positions in the franks of the Seniors.

COAST SENIOR LEAGUE. BEAUMARIS v. LLANRWST. LEANRWIST'S SEVERE TROUNCING. (By" GWILYM.") In glorious weather an Saturday, Llanrwst viislitled the Ciastle Grounds, Beaumaris to, try conclusions, with the Puffins,. As will be seen from the list of players, the homesters had not got the team that played so well against Car- 'narvon in the Senior Cup-tie. The men lined up, before Mr. E. Lloyd Williams, as fo.llows Beaumaris Richards., goal; George Williams and S. Davies, backs; Don Rowlands, Levi Jones, and W. J. Jones, halves,; D. Humphreys, Dai Davies, W. O. Humphreys,, Morgan Jones, and H. Evans, forwards. Llanrwst: Gillet, goal; J. Williams and Trevor Jones, backs Chain, Chisholin, and A. Garter, halves,; Humphrey Roberts, Howell Ro- berts, W. T. Jones, Owen, Jones, and Dennis Jones, forwards. From the kick off the Beaus made tracks for Gillet, but J. Williams nipped in in time and made a smart clearance. After a few minutes play settled, down in midfield, when, with a spurt, Owen Jones raced away, and made a brilliant effort to. get through, but the home de- fence were sound. The home forward-si got going, and a neat pass, by Morgan Jones to Dai Davies saw the latter showing a clean pair of heels, to Chain. He also, circumvented the war horse, and had no difficulty in drawing first blood. On re-starting the Roosters made a determined rush per Howell Roberts, who was within an ace of equalising, when, he was robbed. In a very few minutes, Dai Davies again, got through all op- position, and registered No,. 2 for the Beaus. At this juncture, the Roosters' defence appeared to. fall to pieces, the homesters' front line playing a very clever game Mlorgian Jones, Humphreys, and Dai Davies, combining beautifully. The latter appeared to. have his own way entirely, and time after time he made great efforts to in- crease the lead. Morgan Jones, eventually beat Gillet with a nice shot, but the point was dis- allowed by the referee for an infringement. Morgan Jones had not to wait long before he was compensated, for, after a melee in the visi- tors' goalmouth, he scored a beauty with a curl- ing shot, from which Gillet appeared to be un- sighted. The Roosters' captain made several changes in his telam, but try as they would, it was very little impression they made on the home team's advances. The home half-back line were easily masters Off the situation, al- though the visiting left wing gave a considerable amount of trouble. These two. young players were unsupported, and much good work was wasted. 'Shortly, Humphreys beat Gillet, and to this the Roosters spiritedly replied, through Owen Jones, who, got clean, through a crowd of players and tested Richards severely. The keeper was unable to clear his lines, and Dennis Jones rushed up and put on the finish- ing touch. Immediately from the kick off, Dai Davies ran through, and gave Beaumaris their fifth, goal, which score was kept intact until half-time was called. The second moiety of the game was more evenly contested, through the Roosters had to. face a somewhat strong breeze. Dai Davies, H. Evans, and Humphreys each in turn beat Gillet, whilst Dennis Jones added another for the Roos. ters, the final score reading Beaumaris, 8 Llanrwst, 2. COMMENTS. For the homesters, Richards was safe in goal, but his clearances at timesi were faulty. Of the badks, Georgie Williams was, undoubtedly the best, and in the half-back line W. J. took the honours, although Levi and Don did all that was asked of them. The outstanding figure in the game was Dai Davies, whose judicious, passfing and electric runs were the sole cause of the heavy defat of the Roosters. Humphreys and Morgan Jones played well, but H. Evans was not up to the form of the previous week at Llan- rwst. For the Roosters, Gillet saved time after time in brilliant fashion, though in the earlier stages of the game he was evidently below par. Poor old Tirevor was helpless against Dai Davies, and often had to stand smiling and wondering where Davies had vanished to,. Jack Williams was far and away the best hack on the field, being quick on the ball, and clearing his lines strongly. It is a mystery why so many strangers found their way into the Llanrwst team, when such a valu- able find was near at hand. The Roosters' half- backs completely failed to check the advances of the Beaus' front line. At times Carter and Chisholm did well, but Chain appeared to be off his game entirely. Dennis Jones and Owen Jones formed a capital left wing, and their good work was deserving of better results. It was they who were responsible for the goals the Roosters got. Howell Roberts dribbled well, but solo efforts against such accomplished halves will yield nothing. If the Roosters in- tend making a draw in the semi-final of the Junior Cup, against Colwyn Bay, they wlll have to improve considerably.

CARNARVON v. BLAENAU FESTINIOG. A CLEAN GAME. (BY OVALITE.") The above teams met, on Saturday afternoon, at the Oval, Carnarvon. The ground was in a fair condition. The attendance was rather mealgre. The Carnarvon players wore crape on their arms, in memory of R. H. Williams, New- street, who died on, Sunday last as a result of an accident received at Bangor the previous afternoon. Mr. R. J. Morgan, Portdinorwic, refereed, and the teams lined up as follows: Carnarvon: G. IH. Jones, goal; Evan Hughes and Albert Griffiths, backs; J. Griffith, R. M. Herbert ,and Jack Williams, halves R. H. Ro. berts, T. Roberts, Walter Jones, Hugh Roberts, and, Johnny Jones, forwards. Blaenau Festiniog: Bob Griffith, goal; T. Hughes and Jim Lloyd, backs Powell, M. Mor- ris, and W. Williams, halves; Jack Jones, Ll. Roberts, Meiri-oin Jones, W. R. Owen, and Ned Griffiths, forwards. Carnarvon won the toss. Walter Jones dis- hruguiSlhed himself at the very commencement with a fine dribble, but Jack Williams was rather slow in backing up, and Festiniog had a loOK in, but E. Hughes cleared. Tom Roberts next distinguished himself, but spoiled a nice movement by handling in a foolish manner. The locals were pressing, but the visiting backs gave us a specimen of their metal, and the left full cleared an, ugly rush. Festiniog tried .to break through, but Herbert and Jack Williams were not to be beaten. Festiniog, however, continued to. play well, their right wing, especially the out- side man, being very prominent and combin- ing well. Froim a pass, Festiniog pressed, and Albert had to concede a corner to relieve the tension. The game was very even up to. now, Festiniog forwards putting plenty of dash into, their play. However, the ball was carried down to. the other end, and R. H. Ro- berts, drew first blood for the homesters with a swift shot at close range, the goalkeeper being powerless to stop it. Give and take play followed, the visitors mak- ing tracks on the right, but met with a stubborn defence. Carnarvon gradually penned their op- ponents in, and R. H. Roberts and Tom Roberts sent behind when. they had a chance to augment the score. Festiniog pressed, and again carried play to their opponents' goal, but the outside right sent behind. J. Griffith was next conspicuous with a timely clearance, but Herbert sent behind. The visitors were not to be denied, and again carried play to the other end, but they lacked finesse at the critical moment, and shot wildly behind. Their centre-forward^and right wing were play- ing a good game, the left wing being rather weak. G. H. Jones had to. handle the ball for the first time. Festiniog had most of the game, but were quite at sea in the vicinity of goal. The locals, with the exception, of J. Griffith (who never tires), slowed down. A feature of the play was the grand work done by the visiting right full, one of the best backs on the field. His only fault was rambling, but he was absolutely fearless,, and cleared his lines time after time in magnificent manner. T. Roberts headed behind when in front of goal. For a wonder, J. Jones missed his shot, but the ball came to R. H*. Ro- berts, who. centered well, and Walter missed a good opening. Herbert was accidentally kicked on his chin, but soon came round. Hugh Ro- berts was entirely off colour during the first half, and consequently Jones's (hl s partner) play slufferoo. The locals pressed, but first Wal- ter and then Tom Roberts missed easy goals. However, the ball came to. R. H. Roberts, anti he passed to, Walter, who- raced away and beat the visiting custodian with a lightning shot at long range. Festiniog went off with a rush, but Meirion Jones was, declared offside when in a nice position. Walter Jones tried hard to, score, but his shot was luckily charged down. Half- time arrived, with the score: 'v Carnarvon, 2 Festiniog, o. On re-starting the locals pressed, and during a melee in front of goal, the ball came to. H. Ro- berts, who took good aim, and scored a lovely goal with a swift ground shot. E. Hughes dis- pelled. a raid by the visiting left wing, and gave to Johnny Jones, who had very hard lines with a good shot. Carnarvon continued to press, Jones (their goalkeeper) having come to the middle of too ground, having nothing to do,. In the next minute Tom Roberts gave to Hugh, of that ilk, and Hugh again scored with a swift ground shot. The Canaries were doing all the pressing, and E. Hughes shot hard in, and the visiting right full,, in trying to stop the shot, put it through his own goal. There was. no holding the homesters now, and they gave the Festiniog defence a lively time, but the little goalkeeper saved splen- did shots time after time. Towards the finish, one of the visiting half-backs again put through his own goal, making the score read Carnarvon, 6 Festiniog, o. COMMENTS. About Festiniog. The goalkeeper was a gem, and saved good shots, luckily at times, it is true, but he was never flurried, and cleared in a mas- tenfuil manner. The right full was a treat, and played a clean and vigorous game. The left also played well, but was not so reliable as his partner, and lifted the ball, instead of sending it aliong the ground. The halves were moder- ate, the left being the pick. The right wing shone -most, especially the outside right. Meir- ion Jones began well, but fell off. The left wing was weak, and too nervous,. Really, Festiniog was a fine team, notwithstanding the six goals scored against them. For Carnarvon. Jones, in goal, had little to do; what he did could not be im- proved on. During the second half he had, a holiday, and was often seen among his backs. Albert was AI," as usual. E. Hughes also played well, not being so vigorous in his style as is his wont. J. Griffith was the pick of the middle line. Jack and Herbert have played bet- ter, but Jack improved as the game progressed. R. H. Roberts, has returned to form, his play being a treat. Tom was "rather off colour, but did many useful things. Walter Jones played an excellent game. H. Roberts was off colour during the first half, but im- proved during the second half. Johnny Jones played with spirit and determination. It was a very clean game. (Continued on page 10).
