On Good Friday, Wrexham played their last home fixture in the Combination, their opponent? being Gorton Villa. There was a very good gate," some three hundred coming from Manchester. A high cross wind spoilt the play, and not much first-class football was shown. Wrexham played their cnp team, with the exception that Tt Jones, of the R-serve, took Oswal i Pavie3* place on the right wing. Wrexham had the be?t of the first half, the only goal obtained being scored by Lea, who did n t put in an appearance until the game had been started about twenty minutes. The second portion of the game opened even, but then Gorton went ahead and put on four goals in a short time, and finally won by four goals to one. On the play, Gorton were the better tam. Their defence was safe, and th=ir forwards played a very fair game. The Wrexham team appeared to be rather out of form. The back division was very unsteady at times, and the forwaid s eeamed unable to pull together. J. Turner played a very good game on the left wing, hut he got no assistance from Lea, who lagged behind considerably. W. Turner was well watched in the centre. T. Jones, the reserve man, shapes in a very promising form. The semi-final ties in the Welsh Junior Competi- tion were played off on the Racecourse on Saturday. The first tie was between Flint and Llay Hall Blue Stars. Both teams had plenty of weight, and it was re- marked to U8 several times that they were the heaviest tsanis that had been on the Racecourse this season. However, neither of them knew over much about playing football, and the game was of a scrambling character. Flint were the better team, and won rather easily. We have heard a lot of this team lately, and ex- pected them to show up better than they did, but we are informed that they played much below form. Bartley, in goal, played a very good game. Hall and Price were the best of the back division. Of the forwards Croudace worked very hard. Christopheraon did a startling bit of play at the com- mencement, and then did nothing else. The left-wing passed very nicely at times. Amongst the Llay Hall men A. Lawrence and J. H. Jones were the best of the back division. The forwards were a poor lot, Graham and A. Jones being perhaps the best. The second match was a most exciting one, both teams playing a fast and combined game. The score about represents the play, and the Vies, must be congratulated upon their display. Harrison played a better game in goal than we have seen him do previously. The backs both played well, and Wilding and Burke were the best of the halves. The forwards all deserve praise. Perhaps Kelly and Parry were the best of the set, but they all worked well. In the Chirk team, F. Edwards, the centre half. back, is a promising player, and Meredith, George Williams, and Egan were the best of a good set of forwards. On Saturday Chirk got into the Snal of It he Chester Charity Cup, by defeating Westminster Rovers by two goals to nil. On the same day Shrewsbury won the Shropshire Cup, defeating Oswestry by three goals to one. On Easter Monday the final tie for the Welsh Cup took place at Oswestry, the competing teams being Wrexham and Shrewsbury. The day was beautifully fine, and the trips run from various place?, brought in hundreds of spectators —nearly a thousand going from Wrexham. The Wrexham team drove in the morning to Llan- gollen, where they had dinner. They then drove to Chirk, where they joined oce of the specials to Oswestry. The Shrewsbury team were the first to appear, being quickly followed by the Wrexham men. After a short delay a start was made. The commencement was sensational. Wrexham scored at once, and then, through a misunderstanding between Turner and Ellis, Shrewsbury put on a very simple goal. That point practically decided the game, for it seemed to quite unsettle the Wrexham defence, and half-time arrived with Shrewsbury leading by five goals t) two. Wrexham made a gallant attempt to better their position after changing over, and had much the best of the play, but they failed to score, and Shrewsbury were returned winners of the cup. The display of the Wrexham team was most dis- appointing. The defence, which is considered the strong division of the team, broke down completely in the first half- time, before the long kicking and rushing of their opponents. Turner played wretchedly in goal, He ought to have stopped three of the goals scored against him. Of the backf, Ellis was a complete failure, and it was not until after the first quarter of an hour, during which all the damage was done, that Roberts showed anything like his true form. Hayes placed very we!! amongst the half-backs, but Evan Williams and J. Owens did not shine. Not much fault could be found with the forwards, I who j;!ay-d a n'ce passing game. ¡I A. Lea did well, but lie did not play a forward 5.me, and in our opinion it was a very great mistake to move him from half-back. This change un. doubtedly unsettled the defence, and the weak play uf the back division lost Wrexham the match, J. Turner played a very good game, as did also W. Turner. Oswald Davies and J. Roberts were both good, but they were not given enough work. In the winning team, Rogers surpassed himself in boal, and ti.e two backs defended him well. Aston and Pearson were good at half-back, and Holloway and Green were the best of the forwards. On the day's play, the best team undoubtedly won, and we congratulate them upun their success. At Shrewsbury, during the progress of the game, several telegrams were received, and when the final message was post ?d at Jones', tobacconist, the ch:eri Ig was intense. The team were met at the railway station by a huge crowd, and were loudly cheered. A procession, headed by a band, playing the conquering hero comes," was formed to the local headquarters, the Unicorn Hotd, where the team were enteitiined to dinner. A smoking concert was afterwards held. The winning of the Welsh Cup is the one sole theme in the town, it being some fifteen years since a foreign" cup found it* way to Salop, when t'le town team won the Birmingham Cup. The gate will probably amount to about £110 The gate of the Scotch match totalled £12418,. W. Turner playa for Everton against Notls County, at Everton. on S iturday. Several of the clubs in the Combination have finished their matches. Wrexham play their last match to-day (Saturday,) The London Welsh have done very well on their tour. They beat Carnarvon by six goals nil, the forwards playing a good gaaae. In their match against Bangor, they were beaten by four goals to two. The game was an interesting one. The Welsh were weak at half-back. Owen Elias, the captain, of I' whom great things were was about the play r on the field, j A Charity Cup for North Wales is talked about. i ERDDIG ROVEBS V. FAIRFIELD ALBION.—Played on I Good iiiday, the Rovers winuing a good game by fcur goals to one. PBESTON ASHTON ROVERS V. RUABON.—Played at Ruabon on Good Friday.

These teams met at Denbigh on Good Friday. there was a large gate." The play was greatly spoilt owing to a strong wind prevailing. A pleasant game conclu(led in a win for Denbigh by three goals to one. Osbori-,e, Lloyn, and Ned Moulder played an excellent game for Denbigh. WREXHAM GROSVENOR V. WREXHAM ST. MARY'S. -PJaFd on the Grosvenor ground on Good F.-idav. Tne homesters played a weak team. The hom; team played with the wind in the first half, and pressed j throughout, scoring four times, hut two goals wt re (FsaHowed, and half-time arrived with the Grosvenor leading by two goals to none. Tile second half was more evenly contested, and St. M try's scored, but it was disallowed. Before the finish, each team scored, and the final result was-Grosvenor tlirec St. Mary's one. BURY V. CHIRK.—The visit of the Welsh Cnp- holders to Bury at'racted fully 4.000 spectators. A perfect gale of wind completely spoiled the game, and accurate shooting was out of the question. A good cross shot from Plant was nicely met by Humphreys who registered the first goal for Bury. Later on tid* was supplemented by another from Plant, who lushed through a shot placed by Scowcroft The visitors failed to notch a point, but in the second portion thi was accomplished by But'er, who beatL >weby a lonu shot. The fiml score was :—Buvy two goals, Chirk one goal. RHYL V. BBYMBO INSTITUTE.- P,ayed at Rhyl, on Saturday, in nice weather before a large number of spectators. The home team had hard lines immedi ately on starting, and up to the interval had the best I of the play, but could not break through the visitors' defence, which was very sound, Brymbo scored aft;r twenty minutes' play. Early in the second half Rhyl equalised. B ymbo afterwards broke away and scored I their second goal. The final result was thu', Brymbo Institute two goals, Rhyl one. WEST MANCHESTER V. RUABON.—At Manchester on Good Friday, before 2.000 spectators. The home team started against a strong wind, and play was even for a time. The visitors had slightly the best of the game, but eventually the home right broke away, and from a good centre Angus scored with a splendid shot. No further scoring took place before half-time, when the home team were leading by one goal to none. Resuming, Allison scored for West Manchester with a long shot. The home team pressed severely, and Milne registered a third point frum a corner. Angus got a fourth, Wigmore headed the fifth and sixth in quick succession. The visitors could not make any headway, and Sidley scored a seventh with a good cross shot. "West" registered another goal before time, and the result was-West Manchester 8 goals, Ruabon none. RUABON V. PBESCOT.—Played at Prescot, on Satur- day. The home team were the first to become prominent, Watkins forcing a corner from the visitors' custodian, which, however, yielded nothing tangible. Ruabon, with good combination, came to the other end, and Gerrard scored for them. Even play followed, and the visitors aided by the wind, played a determined game, though they failed to increase their score. Stockley equalised with a good shot. The homesters continued to press and had most, of the game, but the visitors defended gallantly. At half- time the score was one goal each. After the interval, Prescot again pressed for a time. The Welshmen then had a turn, and their left wing made the score into two. The home team tried hard to draw on equal terms, and were rewarded eventually by Wat- kins sending through the Ruabon goal, a performance he repeated a minute later, thus giving the home team the lead. Before time, Ruabon had drawn level again and the result was thus a draw of three goals each.

SCOTLAND T. IRELAND. Various reasons caused alterations in the Scotch side at Glasgow, with the result that the game with Ireland proved much more even than might have been anticipated. Indeed, the football was quite exciting, and Scotland, as on the previous Saturday against Wales, could only claim a victory by the narrowest of majorities. Cathkin Park was the scene of the game, and here the crowd was computed to be 10.000. The Scotchmen started the ball, and obtained the first goal through the agency of Waddell. Subsequently the game was pretty even. Both sideB made many attacks, but half-time was reached with the score unaltered, Scotland leading by one goal to none. When ends bad been changed the Irishmen strove very hard to equalise, and several times tie ball just passed outride the bar. However, the home team broke away, and soon obtained a second goal. Eventu- ally, Ireland registered a goal, kicked by Stantield, and the result was a win for Scotland by two to one. Tina was the eighth match between Ireland and Scot- land, the latter having won in each case.

A strong wind blew across the ground and the play was not of a very brilliant character for the tirst, quarter of an hour. The visiting forwards then settled down to their work better, and compelled the home custodian to give a corner in defence. This was well got away up the field, and Fraser had to hit oii, twice. Mercer finally cleared, and the Gresford lcis wing got possession, and Roberts scored a beauty, from a neat pass In Tilston. Gresford pressed ngair, the home forwards being quite-at sea. After the home goalkeeper had saved remarkably well on more than one occasion, Gresford added another point, A. Roberts shooting through. The score at half-time stood—Gresford, two Mold, nil. Challor.er re-i-t irted, but Baker returned, and Morgan put in a good run along the Mold left. but was pulled up by Mercer, who was playing a sterling game. C. Davies then shot wide of the Mold uprights. Give and take play ensued until close upon time, several corners falling to each side, and both goalkeepers playing well. The game was stooped for a few minutes, owing to the Mold goal- keeper being winded. Gresford afterwards pressed severely, but the defence of the home team was capital. The whistle blew with the score-Gresford, two goals Mold, nil. The Gresford team was as follows :-Fraser, goal; Mercer and Randies, backs Thomas, W. Fraser, and Tilston, half-backs; C. Davies. Jonep, A. Roberts, Pountney, and Challoner, forwards.

GRESFORD v. DENBIGH. This match was played at Denbigh, on Siturday. The weather was delightful, but a stronp wind blew from goal to goal. This is the first time that Denbigh have had a visit from the Gresford Club, and there was a good crowd present to witness the encounter. Both teams were well represented, Gresford being short of Edisbury and Edwards, but their places were well filled by Mercer and Tom Roberts. At half-past two Cecil Davids kicked off against the wind, but Randies returned, a-id Gres- ford immediately took up the running. They severely taxed the hon.e defence, and Roberts op?ned the score for Gresfurd with a well-directed shot. The home right then made a capital run, but were cleverly robbed by Tilston, who passed ta Pountney, and that player dribbled through the home defence and notched the second goal for the visitors. Gresford who had the wind in their favor in the first half, played very well, and had much the best of the play, and half-time arrived with t >em leading by two goals to nil. Challoner re-Etxitid, and even play followed, both goalkeepers being kept busy. Fraser, in savim; a shot from the home ri ht wing, gave a corner, which Tilston cleared. Davies and J ones raced away, the home custodian saving a shot from Challoner in fine style. Denbigh were now having the best of matters, and scored about a quarter of an hour from the tinish. Denbigh pressed afterwards, but the de- fance of the visitors was strong, and could not be again beaten. The final result was thus, Gresford two goals, Denbigh one. The following team repre- sented Gresford :-Fraser goal Mercer and T. Roberts, backs Thomas, Randies and Tilston, half- backs Davies, Jones, A. Roberts, Pountney and Challoner, forwards.
