THE COMBINATION. BANGOR v. WREXHAM. THE HOMERS AGAIN VICTORIOUS. (BY VIGILANT."J Bangor, after their decisive victory over Bir- kenhead on the previous week, were home to NV,Tex-biam on Saturday. There was a, splendid attendance, and the keenest interest was evinced in the match. The former successes of the Homers away has delighted the supporters, and they appreciate good work shown by opponents, as was evidenced by the applause which greeted certain performances of the Wrexham men. The day was beautifully fine, and Referee Yates (jun.) marshalled the players up as fol- lows: Bangor: W. Jones. goal; Hwfa Williams and Jack Jones, backs; Jack Arridge,i Alfi Thomas, j a(. o and Jimmy Jones, halves; Joe Thomas, A. Dargie, Richie Jones, Hugh Davies, and A. Oliver, forwards. Wrexham: Mason, goal; Morris and Hum- phreys, backs; 1. Jones, E. Jones, and G. Jones. halves; Carlton, Franklin, Rogers, Pike, and Glutton, forwards. SPORTSMANLIKE SPECTATORS. The homesters winning the toss, played to- wards the Church-end goal. The opening ex- changes were even until Oliver sailed down the I left, but was successfully checked in his flight. The W rexham men then took up the running, and Hwfa had to place the ball out of play with a huge punt. A foul against Wrexham brought advantage to Bangor, and they at once settled down to a fast and nippy game. Although the Bangor movements were always dangerous sev- eral good chances were mat turned to account, the shooting being erratic. "Wrexham got to the other end, only to see the ball run out of play in a harmless manner. Hereabouts one of the Wrexhamites got hurt, and the game was sus- pended for a short time, and on the player re- covering, loud applause greeted his decision to go on playing. After a fine bout of passing, Joe Thomas got in a capital centre, which was missed by one or two players, and Olliver re- ceiving, he banged in a shot that cannoned off a Wrexham man, and a corner ensued. Nothing came of this, and there were several miskicks following. Joe Thomas also tried his luck with a shot that just went over the bar. CHANCES MISSED. Wrexham improved, and as Glutton was pac- ing away, outwitting several opponents, Jack Jones, like a bolt from the blue, flew across and dispossessed him. Hughie Davies was next pro- minent with a capital shot that Mason smartly threw away, and keeping up the pressure, Joe Thomas was applauded for a very near thing. Thomas again centred, and to the great disap- pointment of the crowd, both Hughie Davies and Oliver missed the ball, and a very glorious chance was lost. Bangor were at this time mas- ters of the situation, and Oliver, after a good run, gave to Richie Jones, who promptly banged a low shot with the side of his foot at Mason, who saved by falling at the expense of a corner. DARGIE SCORES. Then Wrexham again took up the running, and pressed awhile, and \17. Jones had to be on the alert to guard his citadel. Richie Jones tried his luck, at the other end, with a spanking shot, and later Dargie crowned a good bit of work of Oliver's by opening the scoring with a beauty, amidst] much applause. Bangor pressed awhile after this and gained a corner. "Getting away, W rexham, through Pike, were nearly equalising, and again the crowd applauded the performance. Bangor were doing excellent work, and a foul was given against Wrexham just after Dargie had scored. The action of the referee was not agreeable to the spectators, inasmuch as they believed he should have allowed the player to go on since he was not tripped. Wrexham were having the advantage, when half-time' arrived with the score Bangor, i Wrexham, o. A FINE PERFORMANCE. Bangor went off with rare dash, and Wrexham retaliated. The game was becoming more spark- ing. and there were tendencies to roughness. Richie Jones missed a glorious chance) from a pass of Thomas',s. The shooting on both sides was poor at times, until Glutton sent in a capi- tal shot, which was smartly saved. Later Mason brought off some marvellous saves. At one time there was an exciting fusilade on Mason's charge, which had a narrow squeak from falling, but Mason was giving a fine display of goal- keeping. He excited the admiration of the crowd, who cheered him heartily. Wrexham got to the other end, aind there were evidences of much feeling amongst the players at times, es- pecially W rexham. Oliver was again prominent, and passing to Richie Jones at the opportune moment, he scored with a fast flying shot. In less than a couple of minutes Franklin scored for Wrexham with what might be termed a lucky goal. Then the feeling was again appar- ent, and the centre-half of Wrexham was cease- lessly arguing about something. Corners fell to both sides, but nothing accrued from them. Jones saved well for Bangor, and Mason did extra good work for Wrexham. Franklin put in a fine run, and after beating Hwfa, sent a fine shot just grazing the bar. The game was fiercely contested at this point, Wrexham strain- ing every nerve to equalise. And so a ding-dong game continued, and the climax was reached just before time, when Dargie obtained the third goal in a marvellous and persistent manner. De- feating opponent after opponent, he wormed his way through, and beat Mason with a glorious shot, and the applause was terrific. It was a goal worth going a long way to see. Final: Ban go t, 3; Wrexham, i.

RHYL v. NANTWICH. A DRAW. (BY SAND MARTIN.") At Rhyl on Saturday. The following were the teams Rhyl: Smith, goal; R. Roberts and W. Wil- liams, backs; A. Roberts, Carter, and A. N. Other, halves Bertie Jones, D. Hughes, Frost, Harrison, and Warburton, forwards. N antwich: Stevenstoii,, goal; Henshall and Hinde, backs Taylor, Wainwright, and Davies, halves; Ralphes, Webb, Condrey, Huilse, and Weaver, forwards. Referee Mr. Jones, Hglywell Great things were expected of the home team after their brilliant display last week, when they vanquished so formidable a combination as Tranmere Rovers. But contrary to anticipa- tion, the first half was productive of little excite- ment or good football, the contest being marred by numerous infractions by players on both sides, of the offside rule. The pace was slow, too, and too much high kicking was indulged in. Frost, several times, endeavoured to get his men going, but without avail, and the Rhyl men's display was in lamentable contrast to their sparkling exhibition in the previous week. Some fine defensive work on the part of A. Roberts aroused considerable admiration, but beyond this, and several spasmodic rushes by both strings of forwards there was little of inte- rest in the first moiety. Nantwich were the first to open the scoring account, through the medium of Weaver, who sent in rather a tame shot, which Smith parried, but sent the ball into the corner of his own net to the chagrin of every- one. A little later the visitors again pressed, and Condrey sending in rather a hot shot, added another for them. This state of affairs spurred 'Rhyl a little, and in their retaliatory efforts, were, on more than one occasion, within an ace of scoring. Gradually more life was introduced into the game, but the visitors' defence was ,sound, and Rhyl failed to reduce the lead by half time, when the score stood: Nantwich, 2; Rhyl, o. Play in the second half, was made much more interesting, chiefly owing to the strenuous efforts put forth by the homesters. Time aft"r time, in splendid order, the home forwards (rushed- down upon the visitors' citadel, and were repeatedly repulsed but the effect of such good combination and dash were bound to tell, and Harrison, at last, succeeded in opening] Rhyl's account by a smart tappy -sihot. The homesters continued to press, and shortly afterwards, after another combined run, Harrison again secured the leather, and put Rhyl on equal terms with their opponents, with a particularly clean shot. The visitors now had a little more of the argu- ment but Rhyl were certainly playing the best game, and several times nearly obtained the lead. Some good play on Stevenston's part saved Nantwich. The Rhyl forwards were playing a splendid -game, but try as they might they could not

WELSH COAST LEAGUE. HOLYHEAD v. COLWYN BAY. HOME TEAM SECURE BOTH POINTS. (BY VEDETT.E.") The above teams met at Holyhead on Satur- day. Both made changes from the previous week, when, it will be recalled, Holyhead were heavily beaten at Llanrwst, and Colwyn Bay scored a runaway victory against Conway at home. On the present occasion the Sealarks had a full, team, the renowned Collier once again figuring in goal, whilst O. E. Williams and L. McNeil gave way to G. Carlisle and H. Brown. The Gulls also re-arranged their team, Ned Griffiths and T. Wellings appearing to the exclusion of R. C Morris and H. Pritchard. Thus the clubs were better represented than in their previous match this season'. Prompt to time Mr H. R. Edwards, of Menai Bridge, lined up the players in the following order — Holyhead- W. Collier, goal; O. Morgan and Rowland Williams, backs; George Carlisle, W. T. Jones (captain), and R. Ellis, halves; W. S. Owen, R. C. Jones, Hugh Williams, Hugh Brown, and Johnnie Jones, forwards. Colwyn Bay C. Hallwood, goal; David Ro berts and C. H. Waterhouse, backs Ned Griffiths, T. Wellings, and Dick Rowlands, halves; W. E. Roberts, Wilson Southern, T. McCann (captain), Stanley Hughes, and R. W. Kay, forwards. Holyhead, who won the toss. and decided to defend the town goal, had the advantage of a stiff breeze. The Bay were the first to get into their stride, but the Sealarks retaliated and gained a corner. This was partially cleared, but H. Williams seized upon the ball as it was travelling up the field, and sent in a shot that .skimmed the cross bar. Both teams now showed to advantage, the Gulls in attack and the home- sters in defence. A corner forced by Southern was well placed by Griffiths, and in a trice play was carried to the other end by the efforts of Briown and Jones. An exciting incident now took place the ball wasi dropped into the Bay goalmouth, where it bounced up striking the bar and falling at the feet, of a home forward, but Hallwood punched clear. The next minute Carl- isle was just wide, and H. Williams, shot into Hallwood's hands from a centre by Owen. A free kick relieved the pressure on the Bay goal, and gave the visiting forwards a chance. They beat the halves, and Kav nut in a centre which threatened danger to the Holyhead goal, but one of the forwards 'handled the ball. The Gulls re- sumed pressure, Hughes shooting outside, whilst Southern and Kay made a good effort to break through. After the home forwards had been dispossessed, when in close proximity to goal, they made a clever .passing run, which resulted in a score. At some distance from the goal line Williams unexpectedly sent in. a low, swift shot that struck the left hand post and, glanced into the net. 'This success encouraged the Sealarks, who returned and forced two corners in quick succession. Close play in the visitors' half en- ,sued, and then the Gulls missed a good chance of equalising. Rowland Williams inadvertently kicked the ball against Southern, whence it re- bounded up (the field and the Bay forwards were past all 'opposition. Instead, however, of send- ing across after running up, the inside right could only kick straight ahead out of play. The wind increased, and play became rather un- scientific, the Gulls trusting for awhile to kick and rush tactics. Oncei iHallwoo-d ran out to save, and collided with Waterhouse, both miss- ing the ball which just rolled the wrong side of the post. Play was stopped for a time while R. Williams recovered from, a fall, and upon re- sumption the Bay's left back cleverly saved a corner at the expense of a throw in. Owen, I think, fastened on the ball, and from the line sent a perfect centre across the goalmouth. J'ones who was standing at the opposite corner of the goal a few feet out, and quite unmarked, neatly headed through. The Bay had the better of the play from now until the interval, when the score read Holyhead, 2 Colwyn Bay, o. The Holyhead forwards, well .supported by their halves, were prominent, in the first part of ,the second half, and caused ,considem,ble anxiety to the visitors' dlefen.ee. Hallwood very smartly threw away a centra from the right, and then the Bay forwards, iplaying better than they had previously done, combined to some purpose. At the conclusion of a clever run, Roberts centred to McCann, who, palpably struck the rising ball with his hand. In the general appeal which fol- lowed!, the players on both sides paused. No whistle sounded, however, and, acting on his captain's advice, Hughes, who was close by, shot into the net. The referee had not kept up with the game, and so, did not see this breach of the rules, a goal resulting. Shortly after this, McCann had the misfortune to be struck in the face by the ball. The shock was a severe one, and it was pleasing to. note the solicitude on his behalf displayed by W. T. Jones and others of the Sealarks. The Bay played spiritedly, but their forward play was weak, and Holyhead soon troubled Hallwood. The ball bounced around the goal for a time, and as it was being cleared, the referee awarded Holyhead a pen- alty, apparently somewhat to their surprise. It was said to. be a case of hands. H. Williams scored, the ball tstriking under the bar and thence glancing into the net. The Bay seemed loath to abandon all hooe of saving the game, and once they might have reduced the deficit had Roberts centred the right side -of the post. The Bay gained a numibeij of throws in, but found it very difficult to reach Collier. Jones earned the applause of the spectators by his dogged persistency in breaking through and getting in his centre, and the next moment the plaudits were dedicated1 to Hallwood, who saved on the ground and cleared although nampered by two of the opposing forwards. At the other end Souther a got away and appeared likely to score, but the close attendance of a defender caused him- to stumble. The Gulls now gave up all attempts at combination and indulged in a num- ber of long shots, most of which were woefully wide of the mark. Once again the home halves ,secured possession, anai passing to their right wing, the ball was run down and centred for H. Williams to score his third goal, .and the fourth for his side. The Sealarks were now having all the play, and shots hit tlhecross bar, whilst others were fielded by Hallwood. The latter once had the ball, charged out of his grasp, and it fell behind him on, to the line, but Roberts rushed into, the breach and saved a certain goal. Previous to this, McCann and Waterhouse had changed places, and this had the effect of rous- ing the front rank, who played brightly until the close. Hughes carefully steact^d himself when close in, but shot over. Hadihe been able to lift the ball over the heads of the inter- vening players only, he must have scored, for Collier was quite unsighted. This was the last feature of interest, the result being: Holyhead, 4; Colwyn Bay, 1. COMMENTS. Undoubtedly the result was a great disap- pointment to the Bay, whose officials were hope- ful that they had thus early in the season found a capable team. The forwards quite failed to reproduce their form of the previous Saturday. The changes should certainly have strengthened the team, but McCann, at centre, was but a shadow of his real self. Early ini the game Southern was put out of action, and he is de- serving of no small amount of praise for remain- ing on the field. He showed glimpses of form that promise well. His partner, W. E. Roberts, whom I saw last season -give an excellent dis- play in goal, put in one or two good centres, but is not clever enough in dribbling, or smart enough in taking up passes to remain, in the position of outside right. The left wing, on occasion, showed good form, but I cannot see Kay succeeding against even average Coast League defenders yet awhile. -Stanley Hughes, for some reason, was quite at sea, but neverthe- less the pick of the forwards. I should like to say a few words with regard to the Bay forwards. I did not see their enoch- marking display against Conway, but I saw suffi- cient on Saturday to -convince me they are not suitable for Coast League football. (I speak of the new men, of course.) Against teams with robust defenders they must, in the very nature of things, dwindle away and die. I confess that some of the Holyhead players treated the Bay's small wing men with quite unnecessary vigour, and Kay especially had my sympathy when, in the second half, I saw him several times heavily charged when not in possession of the ball. Now, I aim afraid, this will happen in future matches, even when the refereeing is not so lax as on Saturday. After the first twenty Tnirillutes, the forwards were quite ineffective, al- though possibly this was largely due to the failure of McCann, whom, I regretted to hear, was indisposed. But I fancy that with Stanley Hughes at centre forward, and IH, Pritohard at outside left (in short with the forwards arranged as on Saturday week), there would have been no change in the Jesuit The halves did well and the backs were fairly good. Hallwood was brilliant at times, but he migh have saved the second goal if, when he saw Owein about to centre, he had shaped for a corner kick. But Griffiths should have been marking the outside right. Holyhead, whilst deserving their victory, were not three goals the better team. The men were desperately anxious to improve on their display against Llanrwst, and they succeeded. I con- sider W. T. Jones had a larger share in their success than any other player. Williams did v;ell to score three goals, and he was supported by two clever wings. The right, in the first half, and the left, in the second, were most deserving of praise. Holyhead's real strength was in their halves, whilst the backs made few mistakes. Col- lier had little to do, but what work came his way wa.s disposed of in masterly fashion. There will be few teams this season to take five eggs out of the Sealarks' nest!

CONWAY v. CARNARVON. EXCITING MATCH AT CONWAY. (By RAMBLER.) Conway were at home last Saturday to Car- narvon :in a 'League fixture. The Blues had! never been able to capture a point from this strong organisation. When they met last season, the yellow ontes won both games with the scores of 6-0 and 3-1. After their re- verse at Colwyn Bay the previous Saturday, drastic changes had been made. When the teams appeared on the field, it was found that O. E. Willi?.ms, of Colwyn Bay, had not turned up, and Sam Hughes was drafted in. The game was most exciting, and, although defeated, Conway were notf at all disgraced. The visitors brought down their full strength. Mr C. J. Thomas, of Bangor, had charge of the game, and there was a capital attendance when the captains .met. The visiting skipper, having won the toss, decided to play towards the river. T ea IT ;s — Carnarvon United. Goal, G. H. Jones; backs, Evan Hughes and Albert Griffiths; halves, J. Griffiths, Mick Herbert, and Jack Williams; forwards, iR. H. Roberts, Tom Roberts, Walter Jones, Hughie Roberts, and Johnnie Jones. Conway Goal, Joe Hughes backs,Tom Jones and 0. Ellis; halves, Will Evans and Bob A Owen forwards, Tom Craven, Atherton, Chase, and Sam Parry. CONWAY SHORT OF TWO MEN. It will therefore be seen that 'Conway had only nine men oij the field when play started, and the game had been in progress about ten minutes when the missing men turned up in the persona of Sam Hughes and D. O. Davies. It is to be hoped that the officials will at once see that this kind of thing does not happen again. Atherton started the game for the Blues, who at once made tracks for goal, but Albert Griffiths easily dispossessed Craven, and the ball was taken to the other end. Clever work by Tom 'Roberts arid IR. H. ended an. Walter Jones having a splendid opening in front of Joe Hughes, but the ball was lifted harmlessly over the bar. A similar fate fell to the attempt of Johnnie Jones a moment' later. After a fruitless centre from Craven, which was cleared by Evan Hughes, Walter Jones went through on his own. He got cleverly between that home backs, but his final shot was very wide of the ftarget. Carnarvon were most persistent i-i their attacks, and forced Elli,s to concede a corner, which Griffiths sent over the bar. A brilliant and -eleotrifying run by Craven was now seen, and Tommy finished up with a crash- ing shot, which Jones saved with difficulty. From aJ pass by Bob Owen, Chase had a good chance, wherj he was robbed by Evan Hughes. The home forwards were weak in front of goal, the worst offenders being Chase and Davies. The Canaries were soon back again per Tom Roberts and Walter, a timely header by the former just going wide. A müment or two later the home goal almost fell, for Joe 'Hughes left his charge, and the ball was re- turned into an unprotected goal, but Tom Jones rushed up, and headed the ball from under the crossbar, afterwards giving Sam Parry posses- sion. Sam raced away at a great pace, but when he was on the point" of shooting, was brought down by Evan Hughes. THE VISITORS AGGRESSIVE. The free kick 3/ailed the Blues nothing, Davies being too late and Albert Griffiths savi ng, Th Canaries were again dangerous, Hughes saving terrific drives from Walter Jones and Hughie Roberts. A free kick against Evans made a capital chance foil the visitors, Tom Roberts running in on his own, !but Tom Jones again came to the rescue and cleverly disposed of Twm ibach. A visit to the other end almost brought about the downfall of Tones, Chase be. ing wide of the mark by a few :inches only. Irom now to the interval severe pressure was brought to bear upon the home goal, Tom: Jones and Ellis playing a -grand defensive game. Walter Jones and Hughie Roberts drove light- ning shots into goal, but Joe Hughes was bril- liant, and repeatedly gained applause for his clever IstéLves. On one occasion he partly saved a shot from Tom Roberts and fell. Walter Jones was seen rushing up to put on, the finishing touch, when Joe Hughes, though on the ground, tipped the ball from Walter's foot, and Will Evans cleared into- touch. It was really wonder- ful how (the home- goal escaped, but Hughes's colours were at last lowered, Walter Jones scor- ing with a terrific shot, which struck the inside of the crossbar. After this success there was no

LLANRWST v. LLANDUDNO. CORMORANTS VICTORIOUS AT GWYDYR PARK. (By INIGO.") A fair crowd assembled at Gwydyr Park on Saturday to witness the encounter between Llan- rwst and Llandudno. The Roosters, having a clean sheet as far as defeats were concerned, were bent upon keeping up their reputation, and relied upon the same team as on the previous Saturday, with the ex- ception that Cleeve returned, as pivot, to the attacking line, Salisbury Roberts dropping out. Llandudno were strongly represented, and well able to give a good account of themselves. The sides lined out in the following order, in charge of Referee T. H Morgan, Llanfair. fechan — Llanrwst: Gotal, Gillett; backs, Will Owen and W. Trevoir Jones; halves, Humphrey Ro- berts, R. D. Richards, and France Williamis; forwards, J. P. Williams, Howell Roberts, Cleeve, A. Richards, and Dennis Jones. Llandudno Goal, C. Stallard; backs, J. H. Jones and J. E. Williams; halves, W. Edwards, ..T. Johnson, and H. Pearson forwards, W. A. Williams, Brookes-Evans, J. Brown, R. Davies, and Jim Williams. Llanrwst won the toss, and started with a slight breeze in their favour. The opennig move was at once checked, and the ball was transferred to Jim1 Williams, his cemtre being cleared by Wilil Owen. The ball was quickly returned. Owen missed his kick, and Trevor came to the rescue, a corner being the result. The corner was easily cleared, and the home side moved up the field on the right, Brookes- Evans kicking out of play. 0 AN EARLY FIRST POINT. From the throw in, hostilities settled down in midfield, where, eventually, R. D. Richards robbed Davies, and gave to his brother Arthur and Dennis Jones. The visiting defence was, however, on the alert, and the fleet wing was defeated, and the ball returned well down the field. The visiting forwards got close in to Gillett, where the home defenders, by a series of miskicks, allowed Davies an open goal, and he easily defeated Gilleitt with a shot to the corner of the net, thus registering the first point for the visitors, after only a few minutes' play. This somewhat roused the Roosters, and the game was quickly forced to the visitors' end, where hands against the visitors gave the home side an advantage. The pressure was kept up with a will, a corner being conceded, but no ad- vantage was gained. A bout of smart work by the visitors' half line, Johnson being particu- arty conspicuous, hroiught hostilities again to the vicinity of the Roosters' goal. Brookes- Evans and W'. A. Williams made great head- way, and aon-plussed the (home defence, R. D. Richards covering Gillett just in time, and the game was once (more dispatched to the other end of the field. R. D. Richards had the leather within a few yards of Stallard, where he ap- peared to hug it a trifle too long, giving time for the 'visiting defence to recover itself and aid a clearance. The ,re'lief was, however, only mo- mentary, as J. P. Williams iskied a lovely centre, which was eventually punted out of -play. PLENTY OF "GIVE-AND-TAKE." From the kick out the visitors atftacked in real earnest. The forwards, moving in neat combina- tion and well backed up by the halves, got clean through the home defence, but the final shot went some yards wide of the mark. After a turn by the Roosters, IStallard bad to handle from Cleeve, and Johnnie Williams tried his luck at the other end with a long low drive. The game was now of a ding-dong description, both ends being quickly visited in almost regular turns, (Continued on page 5).

again pierce their opponents' citadel, and the game eventually resuted in a draw, the home- sters having the slightly better half of the argu- ment. In the second half both strings of for- wards (distinguished themselves by some bril- liant work, which they executed in: a cool and collected manner, more after the style of nro- fessionals. Warbuirton, Frost, and Harrison were very tricky at times, and nothing could hold them back. A like remark also applies to iCondrey and Weaver, and in a lesser degree to Ralphes, for Nantwich. The Rhyl team appear to understand! each other better, and after a little more experience in each other's company, the players should prove themselves to be a com- bination of some strength and skill. The visi- tors apparently have not got into their stride this season, and appeared tla be a little out of training. This may have been due to the muggy weather, for it was observed that as the sun went down and the air became cooler, both teams displayed considerable more energy. Re- sult Rhyl, 2 Nanftwich, 2.

holding the visitors, centres from Johnnie Jones and R H. being driven into- goal by Walter Jones, but Joe Hughes managed to prevent any further score up to the interval. Half time Carnarvon, i Conway, o. It was felt that the Blues might improve somewhat during this moiety, as they had the sum at their backs. Straight from the centre they made tracks for the Canary goal, Chase be- too hasty with a shot from his right foot. Craven and Atherton were prominent, but Jack Williams rushed up and wildly kicked out of play. From the throw in the incident was re- peated. CONW*AY ATTACK. At last Davies got going, and when on the point of shooting most unfortunately slipped, Hughes punting -the ball out of danger, The Jackdaws were soon back again, Sam Parry being seen. at his best in a solo run. After getting round Griffiths and Hughes he ran in, but parted with the ball too early, Jones saving a swift grounder with the utmost difficulty. After a free kick against Car- narvon, which resulted in a scrimmage in the visiting goalmouth, Craven finally put the ball the wrong side of the: post. Walter Jones was beaten by Bob Owen, and Atherton also had to surrender the leather to Mick Herbert. Johnnie Jones was busy on the extreme left of Carnar- von, and after travelling almost to the corner flag, he centred. Bob Owen met the ball, but bad luck again fell .to his lot, for he fell down, ,u and before he could recover himself Walter Jones had captured the ball and netted for the second time. After this reverse the Blues came away with a dash, and the visiting halves were helpless. A pass from the left was taken by Davies, who- shot hard for goal. Jones failed to stop the ball's career, and scooped the ball from the inside of the net. To be on the safe side, Chase dashed up and planted the ball in the far corner. It was quite unnecessary, though, as the referee had signalled to centre the ball. There was no balding the Blues' quin- tette, who played up wonderfully, and it was at this point, ftlhalt the Carnarvon players started the kicking out tactics which was greatly re- sented by the home supporters. With the excep- tion of one visit to the other end, in which Joe Hughes fell after partly clearing his charge, thus leaving an open goal which Will Evans cleared over his head, 'the game to the finish being in favour of Conway. Shot after shot was sent in, and with the GBlues pressing furiously the whistle sounded with the score:- Carnarvon, 2; Conway, 1. COMMENTS. The match was well contested. The first por- tion saw the visitors to the fore, but the second half went in favour of Conway. It was un- doubtedly Joe Hughes who in the first half saved Conway from a severe defeat. He played brilliantly, and could not be blamed for the two shot that passed him. On the day's play there was not much to choose between the teams, but the visiting forwards were far ahead of the home quintette, their combination and thorough un- derstanding being a treat. The defence was not at all sound. On the home side the star was Joe Hughes, whilst he was ably assisted by Tom Jones and Ellis, the former being the best back on the field. There was a vast improvement in the team caused by the presence of Bob Owen,, and he was a tower of strength to the homesters. Will Evans worked hard, but he had a couple of clever men to Avatch. Sam Hughes came to the rescue at short notice, and played a useful game. The forwards gave a much better show than they did the previous Saturday, but I ,should like to see them indulge in long passing. Their short pa:ssing movements are an utter fail- ure. They seem to get continually in each other's way. Both outside men shoul dcentre sooner than they do at present. Orue sometimes noticed the inside men and the niv-ot follow up the field in the hope of meeting a centre, only to see an opponrelilrt take the ball from their out- side man. This was through selfishness on the part of the wingers in not centreing the ball be- fore they were (tackled. Wake up, Conway Three matches have now been played, and only two points gained.
