WELSH AMATEUR CUP. (FOURTH ROUND.) LLANDUDNO AMATEURS v. BANGOR. A GOAL-LESS DRAW. (BY VIGILANT.") Llandudno and Bangor made a draw in this lie on Saturday at Llandudno, and the match having to be replayed yesterday, at Bangor, I hope the issue has been decided. Both Bangor and Llandudno have been ousted from further participation in the struggle for the Welsh Coast Senior Cup. Much was expected from these two rivals in fact, many pinned their faith upon the two teams being finalists. However^ that is in-t so, and; the hopes of both sides were raised when the Homers and Cormorants were drawn against each other at Llandudno in the Welsh Amateur Cup. A STRONG BANGOR SIDE. The weather was consistently bad, as it has been for very many weeks past. In fact, the Saturdays that have been fit for a decent exposi- tion of the game have been remarkably few and very far between. This not only affects the gate but damps the ardour of football enthusi- in asts. And the -ever-annoying wind was in full evidence. Neverthless, there was a Zg gate present to witness the struggle, and they got full value for their money but a win for the Llandudno supporters would have just furnished the crowning satisfaction of the excellent dis- play given by Llandudno. Fully alive to the importance of the occasion, Bangor sent down one of the strongest forward lines they could choose, which included Dick Rowlands, ex-Beaumarisian, and Harry Row- lands on the right wing Arnold Dargie, the international amateur pivot as the central figure -la the forward line whilst Hughie Davies and Edgar Lloyd Jones formed the left wing. W. II. Jones, the flier, should have been on the extreme left nsition, but was unable to appear, and therefore Edgar deputised for him. The halves were Arthur Owen, H. I. Davies and his liams and D. J. Thomas were the backs, and K. H. Williams in goal. LLANDUDNO RE-ARRANGED. Liandudmo had a re-arranged team, the front rank being without Johnny VVilljLams and little Jimmy Williams and David Williams. So the trio of usual W illiiamses were absentees. The front rank was made up as follows:—W. A. Williams and David Griliiths on the right wing, Jack Brown as cenrtre forward, and Brooksey and Frank Roberts on the left. In the half-way line Tom Johnson went to the right position as centre, Georg'ie Davies took Johnson's usual pLace, whilst Harold Pearson retained, his usual position of left half. Jack Lunt made a very welcome re-appearance in the back line to ac- cuiiiipany J. H. Jones, and Stallard was the cus- todian. Never in my whole experience have I seen the Llandudno ground in such a condition as ait was on Saturday, more partacularly at the '1 heatre side, near the Llanrhoa end goal. The continuous rains had even flooded the sandy- natured and absorbent patch hereabouts until the players when they got to the ball dropped dead into it and looked very grotesque, and iiiu,t have far from relished the impromptu baths that they received. And the day was raw with a biting wind. These things mattered little to the contestants, for they took to the water like ducks, and apparently relished1 the novel experience on the Llandudno ground. The teams were upon the field fully half an hour before the referee, Mr. hllar, of Chester, arrived upon the scene. These waits for busi- ness to commence are anything but pleasant for the spectators and players upon such a day. But it appe.ars that the match was timed from the W rexham depot to start at 3.30, and so the Miller of the Dee acted accordingly. There was a strong wind blowing down the field from the sea-end gotI, and Bangor, winning the toss, plaved with the wind behind them. When it was found that Bangor had won the toss, with such a very strong set of forwards, and Llan- dudno having such a re-organised team, there were very few upon the field who expected Llandudno to smtdlin, the ordeal of keeping their goal intact for 45 minutes. But they did, and) that in a very clever and surpriSling manner. The disnlay of the Bangordans was very dis- appointing, and in contradistinction to that, Llandudno's exhibition of defensive tactics was very good. It was effective, timely, and well judged. And more than that, not only did they defend, but several ominous rushes were made for R. II. Williams that showed the 'Chers were going to fight with their best might. Dargie could not get going, and it was amusing to see +Jh.e way that Jacky Brown stuck to him closer than a trother. 'The defensive work of Llan- dudno was an agreeable revelation to the Llan- dudno supporters and a great surprise to Lewis, M.A., who was naturall" proud of the team he had brought from Bangor. Several shots were sent in to the Llandudno custodian, all of which he dealt with in a mas- terful manner. Wild and erratic shooting also characterised the Barugor forwards' work. W. A. Williams, by grand forcing play, volleyed a fast ground shot from long range, which just passed the wrong side of the post at a terrific pace. The Bangor custodian made an effort to get to the ball, but had the shot been more ac- curate he could not possibly have prevented its Might into the net. Well-deserved applause "reeted Willie Arthur's fine attempt. Frank Roberts was also doing well on the left, and one thing always in this player's favour is that he does not nurse the ball, but parts with it at the proper moment. Several corners fell to Bangor, but each were cleared, though a nar- row3 shave of defeat occurred once or twice. Jack Brown tried effectively to raise the siege once or twice, but D. J. 'Thomas and Hwfa were on the alert. A fine shot by Hughie Davies was well fielded by Stallard, and as time wore on it became possible that half-time would atrive before Bangor could score. Dargie made one desperate effort to get through, but was neatly robbed at the crucial moment by Jack Luirut, who was> playimg his usual cool and i judicious game. It is a feature of Jack's play that he never loses his head when in the midst of a melee or an exciting scrimmage. Harry Rowlands ended a good chance by shoot- ing woefully wide, and Dargie, from a free kick, failed execrably to take adrvantage of a good opportunity. Little Willie Arthur was a plodder on the right, and did some good things. More corners for Bangor followed, but they availed the Homers nothing, although each was well placed. The next thin^ of importance was a rasping shot from the foot of David Griffiths, which struck the side of the net. Llandudno at this junct-ure had as much of the game as their rivals but they failed to score, and half time arrived with no score. HARD LINES FOR THE 'CHERS. Every Llandudno supporter was more than satisfied with the display the Amateurs had given with a disorganised team under such ad- verse conditions in the first half. WTith a change of ends the hopes of the Llandudno men were brightened, and Bangor were well aware that their defensive work would have to be of th best. However, upon resuming Bangor were the first to have a look in, Edgar Jones doing well on the left. Then the 'Chers got down and were favourably placed, and Brookes was doing splendid work, but once more indulged in that system which was called on the ground by an old erathusriast Llandudno's curse," of stick- ing to the ball too long and imagining the ball could be walked tihroaigh, when it was miserably lost through messing with the sphere too long, instead of volleying a shot for goal. I do I ,not know when Llandudno is going to leam that they should adapt themselves to circum- stances and play in a cup-tie football of the cup-tie character. As an instance, Brookes a little I later got a glorious chance of scoring, when, to the cries of Shoot! he let himself be robbed through dallying too long, to the dis- gust of the spectators. This player is smart, tricky, and knows when to shoot as a rule, but cs developing the annoying habit of keeping the ball too long. How pleasing would it be to see this player crown his other good work with a score. He is one of the most popular forwards on the Coast, and I do wish he would take the lesson to heart of giving us more surprise shots and less of the carpet-weaving business. If Bangor had only had the chances of Llandudno close in, something would have happened. The Bangorians "rnproved somewhat, and ap- peared more dangerous when in the vicinity of Stallard. They had a good share of the game in this half, but the Amateurs seemed to slacken down, although they experienced very hard lines when the ball was all but in the net when there were scrimmages from the water pools to dry land, but luck was against Llandudno. The Bangor defence was sorely tried, and a goal seemed likely for Llandudno at any moment. However, it never came. Several corners were gained, and desperate efforts made to net the ball but it would not go in the net. A free kick to Llandudno saw J. H. Jones send in a flying teaser to H. R. Williams, who neatly put the fast-driven ball over the bar. Then excite- ment ensued from the resultanst corner, and Bangor prevailed, and ultimately cleared. Llandudno pressed mightily hard towards the close, but no goal was forthcoming. Th4 Homers were penned in, and notwithstanding the severe pecking of the long-beaked Cormor- ants the game ended in a diraw with no goal! scored.
CARNARVON v. HOLYHEAD.

CARNARVON v. HOLYHEAD. IVI-N- FOR THE CANARIES. The above teams met at the Oval, Carnarvon, on Saturday. Rain kept away, but the ground, especially in some parts, was in a very sodden condition. Mr. Slater linea up the teams as follows Carnarvon G. H. Jones, goal; E. Hughes and R. Morton Williams, backs; J. Griffith, R. M. Heroert, and Jack Williams, halves; R. H. Roberts, Tom, Roberts, Walter Jones, Hugh Roberts, and Johnny Jones, forwards. Holyhead: II. H. Jones, goal; O. Morgan and R. Williams, backs; W. Taylor, W. T. Jones, and R. Ellis, halves; J. Jones, R. C. Jones, H. W illiams, S. Owen, and "McNeill, for- wards. Holyhead won the toss, and decided' to play towards the town goal, with the wind in their favour. Carnarvon went off in a rush, but H. H. Roberts sent behind. Taylor hesitated, and was robbed, but the move did not come off. Carnarvon came again, and Jones cleared well from Walter. Holyhe.ad had a, look in, but Salisbury Owen. through selfish play, lost the ball. Holyhead pressed, but R. Morton Wil- liams cleared. Then Herbert tried a long one, but it went behind. J. Griffith was rather flur- ried, and passed to an opponent. However, Evan Hughes averted danger. Both R. H. R. and Tom Roberts nearly scored, Morgan clear- ing clumsily. Carnarvon pressed hotly, but W. T. Jones was playing a grand defensive game. Holyhead retaliated,, and E. Hughes cleared. Johnny Jones, having tricked three opponents, sent behind. The next minute Morgan robbed Walter, the latter being in a dangerous posi- tion. Then Holyhead nearly scored, Salisbury Owen sending behind, and Tom Roberts missed an open goal. The next minute Johnny Jones centred. The ball came to Tom Roberts in goalmouth. The veteran made no mistake with his shot, scoring at close quarters. Herbert was penalised, and so was Taylor, for jumping. Holyhead played well, but could not score. Waltei tried a good one, but the visiting goalie saved well. Holyhead were given offside, when in a good position. R. M. Wil- liams gave a corner, which was cleared. Taylor was hooted for unfair tactics towards Johnny Jones-holding him so that he could not pass. The Canaries pressed, but would not augment their score. Carnarvon scored, an offside goal. R. H. R. tried a hot one, but Jones saved well in goal. Herbert beat Salisbury for the ball. Then Twm Bach was injured, but soon re- sumed. Holyhead nearly scored', and were awarded a corner, when half time arrived, the score reading — Carnarvon., i Holyhead, o. In the second half Carnarvon played down the slope, but there was no wind. The Canaries went off, but W. T. Jones cleared his lines. Walter tried one of his favourites, but the ball went over the bar. R. H. Roberts centred mag- nificently, and Hugh Roberts headed in. Carnarvon pressed, but H. Roberts was too selfish. Then R. H. R. sent behind. Salisbury Owen overran the ball. Then Johnny Jones had a glorious chance of scoring, but was too nervous, and lost the opportunity. Holyhead went anvav in a determined fashion, and Herbert (having fallen back) averted a certain goal. Holyhead lefit full was playing very erratic just now. Herbert shot straight, but Jones tipiped the ball over the bar--a grand attempt and save. Holyhead gained a corner, but George saved well. Give and take followed, and time was called with the score Carnarvon, 2; Holyhead, o. such a state as to make fine play impossible. Carnarvon had not played, at the Oval since Boxing Day. Some of them showed lack of training. Aviso, they kept the ball too much on the wings. R. H. R. ought to centre sooner than he does. J. Jones was nearly starved dur- ing the second half. But to individualise, Jones in goal was A 1. He ought to drop that habit of running out when the backs are near him. R. Morton Williams played in a cool manner, and is full of promise. He takes the place of Albert (who has gone to Bolton). Evan Hughes was in a fine fettle, but missed his kick on more than one occasion. He and John Griffith had a smart left wing to tackle. Herbert was the brainiest player on the field. He studies his game. John Griffith opened badly, but improved wonderfully as the game wen/t on. Jack Wil- jams was in fine form, but was inclined to be unnecessarily rough. It only spoils your good play, Jack. The forwards were not in fine form, especially the left wing. H. Roberts was unwell, and Johnny Jones did not electrify us with his usual runs. R. II. played well, and also Tom Walter was carele-ss in his style. Sometimes the five were tantalising ia their cool- ness. They ought to open the game, and not indulge in gallery play on the wing. The visiting goalie played grand. He saved difficult shots. He is a fine custodian. The right full played well, but the left was very erratic in the second half. Of the halves, W. T. was the pick. The forwards nlayed well, but were at sea in front of goal. Salisbury Owen was the pick, but he was too well watched bv J. Griffith and Evan Hughes to shine. Two of the Holyhead players were cautioned by the referee for rough playing. 1II1II8

CONWAY v. PWLLHELI. MATCH ABANDONED. (BY RAMBLER. 1 The home Executive ought to be censured for allowing the above match to be started. The whole of the ground resembled a lake, making everything unfit. When the referee, Mr. John Roberts, of Bangor, appeared on the ground, he at once expressed an opinion that it was unfit, but informed the teams that he was in their hands, and that 'if they were keen on playing he was willing to proceed. After some discussion, the visitors were called together, and finally they informed the referee that they had decided to play. At the commencement, thirty minutes' time was decided upon by mutual consent. A start was made before a crowd of about two dozen, and it was at once seen that it would prove nothing but a farce, as the players were soon drenched, especially the visiting centre half. After an attempt had been made for twenty minutes, the referee ordered the match to be stopped, and I must say that he was fully justified in adopting this course. (Continued on page 5).

The Committee of the Bangor Clubs were un- fortunate in having to select two amateur teams for Saturday last. The best eleven were doing duty at Llandudno in the IVelsh Amateur Cup, and it was a very mixed team that turned out on the Bangor enclosure against the Quarryinen. Again the ground was in a fearful condition, the greater portion of it being covered with water some inches deep. Mr. W. J. Parry, Colwyn Bay, had charge of the teams which turned out as follows — Bangor: Edmund Priitchard; W. Parry and Sam Williams; R. Roberts, Aaron Jones, and Fred Daig'ie Dick Owen, H. R. Lewis, Morris Jones, T. J. Griffith and Harry Evans. Festiniog Whittaker Tom Hughes and WTill Jones (Bangor) Moss Roberts, Jack Jones (Capt.), and W. H. Williams; R. Roberts, Cled. wyn Owen, H. Collins, Johnnie Hughes, and W. 'R. Owen. W hen the ball was put in motion, there was on] y a handful of spectators, prominent among whom were the Festiniog students. Bangor had only ten men at the start, and the Quarrymen forced the game on the left wing, a corner kick resulting. The free kick caused a melee in front of the home goal, and Collins snatching' an opportunity tested Pritchard, who attempted to save after the ball had gone over the line. The referee immediately pointed to the centre. Banger g<>t going on the left, Harry Evans placing an accurate centre, and when within a yard or two from the upright, Dick Owen com- mitted the marvellous feat of kicking yards wide of the mark, to the amusement of the spectators. T he crowd were again treated, to some amuse- rp-eirt ivhjlp 1np \\7&rf± nrAccinjr t), L" p.&&&)' Quarrymen being unable to clear their lines, and the homesters unable to penetrate the goal. A long pot by Aaron caused Whittaker to fist out, but the ball struck the upright again, and dropped on the goal Line, remaining there a second or two before it v.as cleared. The visit- ors again made tracks for Edmund, and Johnnie Hughes, the selected inside left of the East team, had beaten all opposition, when he was deliberately fouled by Parry, and the penality kick was converted by Tom Hughes. On the wihole, the game was quite amusing from a spectators point of view. Several of the players were given mud baths, and it appeared to be the delight of the players, to get each other down when a pool of water was about. Johnnie Hughes was a thorn in the side of the Bangor defence. He got away on one occasion, and Edmund brought off a very lucky siave. There was now some excitement in the neigh- bourhood of Whittaker. The home-sters were pressing, and Tom Hughes handled just outside the area. The free kick was sent to Dick Owen, who at this juncture showed some signs of his old diaih, but hiis finishing touch was not woTthy* of a scthool team. Lewis, the Combina- tion trainer, who. had been doing good work, tested Whittaker with a good shot, which was luckily saved at the expense of a corner kick. Lewis repeated his attempt to lower the Quarry- men's colours with a grounder which Whittaker fell on, and there were cries of goal," but the referee took no notice. In less than a minute, Dick Owen put in the worst and the best shot of the match. The farmer was many yards wide of the mark, whereas the latter caused no end of trouble to the burly keeper." Harry Evans got away on the left, but he was fouled and with a warning hand he kept off his com- rades, and took the free kick himself, making a terrible mess of it by attempting to strike the Church steeple. The game up to this period, from a football point of view, was most unin- teresting, and when the whistle sounded for half time, some of the spectators ventured the opin- ion that the game should be closed at that period. Half time arrived with the Quarrymen leadiii, by 2 goals to mil. A few spectators remained to watch the second moiety of the game. An immediate attack by Roberts and Cledwyn Owen caught the Barugor defence, napping. The ball was fired at Edmund, but it stuck in a pool of water. He hesitated, and before he knew where he was, Collins had planted the ball safely between the sticks The visitors continued to have the best of matters, and Collins was again, prominent, and was putting himself in a position to shoot, when W. Parry again brought ham to the mud. A narrow escape for a penalty. After this the City representatives warmed to their work, and several corners-all fruitless—were awarded them in quick succession. T. J. Griffith, the player from Friar's, worked the ball down, the field beautifully, and when about to shoot, Dargie rushed -up, and landed the ball safely past Whittaker. R. Roberts,, the visiliting outside right, was making progress along the line, and had completely beaten one of the Bangor de- fenders. who wore a white bandage on his left knee. The knee could not have been, injured in anv way, for he committed a very mean foul by placing that supposed to be injured knee, right in frorut of Roberts, causing him to fall headlong on a hard substance, and injuring himself. The referee cautioned both a spectator and a Bangor player. Pressing again, the City representatives were awarded a penalty kick, which was placed ,in the hands—or feet—of Harry Evans. He shot straight at Whiittaker, who effected a smart clearance, which was cheered by the spectators, who also were considerably amused at the scor- ing powers of the Ba-ngor team. Just on time, Bangor reduced the lead, the final reading Festiniog, 3; Bangor, 2. At the close, there was a dispute as to the time, it being alleged that it was four minutes short. The Bangor team with the referee and a few of the visitors again entered the arena, but no further start was made of the game. NOTES AND COMMENTS. It would be unfair to the players to criticise them when playing on such a ground as they experienced. The match was more in the nature of a comical" match than anything else, and caused much hilarity amongst the spectators. W. H. WilkLams, the visitors left half, presented the appearance cxf a nigger, after his ducking in a mud bath. All the players were in a terrible plight. On the afternoons play, the Quarrymen were the slightly better team.
