The teams lined out in tire ioiiowiiig oider:-Civmainan: Goal, Joseph; backs, Berryman and Isaac; halves, Davies, Thomas, and An- thony; forwards, Clarke, Rees, Scully, Barson, and Griffiths. Cwmparc: Goal, Jones; backs, Evans and Taylor; halves, Owen, Morgan, and Man; forwards, Jen- kins, Jones, James, Clarke, and Jones. Beferee, Mr. G. Perrin, Cardiff. Sculley started the game for Cwmaman, and Harry Rees, in securing, immediately visited the Cwmparc quarters, but they were repulsed by Evans, the visiting left full-back. The visitors afterwards uressed, and their efforts resulted in a weak shot sent in by Dick Jones, the left outside. Afterwards the Cwmaman for- wards came away with a burst, and Scully, after beating the defence, sent in a shot which struck the cross-bar, the ball rebounding into play. Jack Griiliths's shot, which followed, also struck the bar and went behind. The homesters came away with fine combination on the right wing, and a fine centre by Clarke ended in Griffiths finding the corner of the net, but the point was disallowed through the player being off-side. "Fouls" were then frequently indulged in by both sides. A fine rush by Cwmparc right outside ended in Clarke, of the visitors, sending in a good shot, and Joseph failing to hand, sent out again, but from the ensuing scramble they scored. With only ten minutes to play before the interval, Cwm- aman broke away with a fine footwork, and Barson equalised matters. Half-Time Score: Cwmparc 1 goal. Cwmaman 1 goal. 1\" W Idris James restarted for Cwmparc, who came away prettily, but Scully failing to net, the ball was sent to midfield, where Harry Bees obtained, rushed up, and scored. The visitors were now a beaten team, and another fine pass by Bees was secured by Jack Griffiths, who, with a good screw kick, added a third goal, whilst Harry Jones, the visiting custod- ian, had left his charge. The Cwmaman eleven maintained the pressure, and Grif- fiths subsequently headed in another goal. A surprising burst was next made by the Cwmparc forwards, who, came into the ihome territory, and obtained a corner, which Owens failed to make, use of. Jack Griffiths eventually scored another goal off a strong "header." Not to be denied Harry Rees came away for Cwmaman, and after sprinting the whole length of the field, sent in a hot "grounder" which found the net. Final Score: Cvmaman 6 goals. • Compare 1 goal. If would be invidious to particularise an of the Cwmaman players, as they all played their parts well. For Cwmparc, Teddie Evans, the left back, D. Jones. the ouiside left, and the right half were very prominent. Harry Jones worked very had as goalman for the visitors. They pleyed a very good game, and gave the Cwr^manites1 as much work as they could do in staving their shots, ■espec- ially in the first moiety, but the home- sters were all round a superior pack in the second half. Harry Rees, one of the Cwmaman forwards, was injured by com- ing in sharp contact with Mr. Perrin, the referee. -:0:-
INTER-LEAGUE TRIAL
INTER-LEAGUE TRIAL Whites v. Stripes. Under the auspices of the Aberdare and District Junior Association League, an Inter-League Match was played at the Ynyscynon Grounds on Saturday before a large crowd. Several of the players failed to turn up. M. J. Davies played instead of Jackson at back for the Whites, whilst G. Davies substituted Joe Harris at left naif. Shears, Finn, and T. Rees also substituted others. The teams fielded under the charge of Mr J. G. Havard. The game, at the outset, was very even, the Whites being good attackers, but found a good defender in Allen (Cefn- pennar). Good work by the Cefnpennar forwards and back brought play into the Whites' territory, where some brilliant clearances were contributed by Joe Lewis (Crescents). The teams played up with determination, and their forward rushes were vigorous in the extreme. Some clever work by D. J. Williams and Gil- bert Davies (Cwmbach) ended in Cliff Brain securing and beating Probert in the ensuing tackle, where W. R. Jones obtained and passed out to George Davies. The latter centred, and Dai Williams got possession, and sent in a hot shot, missing the net by inches. A similar chance was lest to George Davies, of Cwmbach. Some pretty foot and headwork was, afterwards displayed by Edwin Snow (Aberaman Stars), whose efforts ended in the Stripes penning their opponents in their own goal. Here Daniels was forced to save. Some admirable work by Eynon ended in the Whites initiating a round of passing, and George Davies scored a goal. Ailen and Charlie Williams y ere seen to ad- vantage among the Stripes, and a good shot by Flooks saw Will Evans obtaining, but Brain and D. J. Williams were con- tinually intercepting their shots'. Dai Bowen (Godreaman) showed cleverness in tackling. Flooks, receiving, sent to Tom Evans, who delivered a shot, from which Probert headed into the net. Half-Time Score: Whites 1 goal. Stripes 1 goal. In the second half George Davies fairly and squarely defeated the Stripes defence, and again registered a goal to the accom- paniment of tremendous cheering, thus giving the Whites the lead. On the Stripes came with vigorous onslaughts, but found Joe Lewis a stumbling block. The Cefnpennar men played very well under the conditions, but both sides were pulled up for adopting off-side tactics. The Whites pressed at the end. Final Score: Whites 2 goals. Stripes l goai. I The finest full-back on the field was un- doubtedly Joe Lewis, whose breaking up of his opponents' passing was a feature o; his play, and the victory of the Whites is attributed in no small share to the work shown by Lewis. Of the half-backs, the pick were Cliff Brain of the Whites and E. Snow of the Stripes. Dai Bowen and D. J. Williams were also effective. Geo. Davies at right wing for the Whites, who scored the winning goals, was the hero of the match. He was served on some occa- sion by Brain. Tommy Evans, the idol of Cefnpennar, played decently, but did not make such an impression as was ex- pected. Will Ret 1.2 fcw cajjtain, was also v-- r. A Cefii-. pennar back, cmared: his lines well, but was more ± > en t it in t in the open. He is a sound player. Charlie Williams and M. J. Davies, the respec- tive right ii 1 <.» were not lack- i ing in their kiclÙng, Charlie being, per- haps, the better man. Eva.n Davies (Stars) was terribly off-colour, whilst Finn and Shears were also lacking in good play. Shears is excusable seeing that he has never played at outside-right before. He is a centre-forward. As negotiations are in progress with the Cardiff and District League with a view of playing an Inter-Town Match with the Aberdare League, I would advise the committee to play a second trial on some other date, or choose the following team to represent Aberdare: Goal, Daniels (G.W. Rovers); backs, Joe Lewis (Cres- cents) and Alle-i (Cefnpenr.ar); halves, C. Brain (Crescents), D. Bowen (Godre- aman), and E. Evans (Aberaman Stars); forwards, to be selected from Tom Evans and C. Flooks (Cefnpennar), Probert (Godreaman), Pritchard (Crescents), George Davies, and W. R. Jones (Cwm- bach). Aberdare Juniors v. Aberdare Excel- siors.—The above match was played at the Park on Saturday before a few spec- tators. The Excels kicked off, and at once raided the Juniors' quarters, but the de- fence prevailed, and Collins transferred play to the other end. Play waged in midfield for a long time, until the Excels stormed the Juniors' goal, and Edwards scored a nice goal. Five minutes before half time the Excels again pressed, and the centre-forward rushed, man and ball, through. Edwards and Morgan were very sound in defence for the Juniors. Half-Time Score: Aberdare Excelsiors 2^goals. Aberdare Juniors Nil. The Juniors restarted, and at once raided their opponents' goal, which ex- perienced a warm five minutes. Edwards for the Juniors, who now played inside right, took the ball from midfield, and after eluding several opponents, scored a splendid goal. Play was very even after this, both sides attacking in turn. At last the Juniors pressed, and Edwards drove in a shot. The Excel's goalkeeper knocked the ball on to tne of the full- back's knees, where it rebounded to Parfitt, who scored, amid loud exclam- ations of "Off-side" from the Excelsiors. Final Score: Juniors 2 goals. Excelsiors 2 goals. The Juniors are to be complimented upon their fine display against their op- ponents, who were older and heavier than them. It was no secret that the Excels predicted an 8-0 victory for themelves. For the Excels, Jenkins at back, Dick Dick "Market," and W. Parker, are de- serving of mention. Cwmbach United v. Aberdare Teachers. This match being the first meeting of these teams, was played at the Park. Davies started for the Teachers, who im- mediately invaded the Cwmbach terri- tory, the Cwmbach backs clearing in good style. Give and take play ensued until Roderick with a huge kick set his for- wards in motion. Their efforts, however, were of no avail owing to the poor shoot- ing of the forwards. Cwmbach now be- came on the aggressive, and looked like scoring, but Rees, the Teachers' right back, cleared his lines. Half-time ar- rived with no score. On the change of ends, the homesters were soon on the aggressive, and after a retaliatory kick by the visiting left back the home centre secured and gave to Evans, the latter giving a neat pass to Howells, who rushed up and scored. After this reverse, the visitors made a com- bined attack on the home quarters, only to find Roderick safe. Oliver, the Teachers' goal-keeper, was called upon to save, when Cwmbach all but scored from a free kick for "hands." Syd Harris was conspicuous with a run through, which enabled him to score with a good shot. The point was, however, disallowed, the referee understanding him to be off- side. The Teachers maintanied the pres- sure until time was called in semi-dark- ness. For Cwmbach, the left back and inside left with the centre forward were conspicuous, whilst prominent for the Pedagogues were Oliver in goal, Roderick, Rees, and Davies, the centre. Final score: Teachers United 1 goal. Cwmbach United Nil.

Abercynon were minus two three-quarters, one half-back, and two forwards. The Cefn boys started up the hill. Abercynon soon returned to the at- tack, being on the homesters' line practi- cally all the first half, and had hard lines in not scoring on several occasions. Arthur Jenkins was brought down on the line several times, the homesters' full- back playing a good game. Half-Time Score: Abercynon Nil. Cefnpennar Nil. On resuming, the Cefn boys came away with a bang, but were soon driven back. Play waged in mid-field for some time, the Abercynon forwards playing a grand game, Pike and Felix getting the ball often, but could do nothing with it owing to its greasy state. Hill, the Cefn centre, kicked the ball down the field, which was well followed up, Thomas, the Aber full- back, failing to reply, the ball being rushed over the line. Harford scored. Final Score: Cefnpennar 1 try. Abercynon Nil. Abercynon were unlucky in losing, as they were attacking all through the first half, the fine. defence of the homesters alone saving them. Emery Ford was the pick of the home forwards. For the Aber boys, Curry was the pick of the forwards'. Pike and Felix were better than their op- ponents at half-back. Of the tliree-quar- ters, A. Jenkins, the Abercynon centre, played a great game, being the finest back on the field.

On Thursday last a meeting was held at the Cefnpennar Hotel in connection with the presenting of the medals won by the Cefnpennar A.F.C., in the Aberdare and District Junior Association League. The chair was occupied in the first por- tion of the meeting by Mr. E. Jenkins, Mountain Ash. The chairman, in open- ing the meeting, observed that the preva- lence of bad language on the field of play kept many a man away from visiting the matches. He was, however, pleased to hear that bad language was not heard at the games played by the Cefnpennar A.F.C. He credited the players and com- mittee on the manner in which they had fought their battles out.

-----------FOOTBALL NOTES.
FOOTBALL NOTES. BY SPECTATOR. Rugby. Aberdare v. Cinderford. The above return fixture was played at the New Athletic Grounds before a fairly good crowd. Sladen and Dai Jones were the only absentees in the home ranks. When both teams met last the Tinplaters routed the Darians by sixteen points. The home- sters were determined to pay back the score, and it was fully expected that they would win with a fair margin, but the unexpected happened, and Aberdare were fortunate in coming out of the ordeal un- defeated. It was one of the poorest exhibitions of Rugger ever witnessed on the Ynys, all interesting movements being initiated by the visitors. It proved to be a game in which scrimmaging was the order of play, the homesters being worsted. From the exhibition of the home eight one would imagine that they were (strangers to the game, and their packing would not do credit to a lot of small schoolboys. The writer has seen a few games in his time, and does not wish to witness a similar display of ragged forward play, and it would be well before some of them are again selected to play before the public, that they should be coached in the rudi- ments of simple if not scientific football. We pride ourselves upon the superiority of Welsh football, but, indeed, last Satur- day proved that we are deplorably infer- ior, for the Cinderfordians gave our re- presentatives points galore, in the art of scrummaging, packing, heeling, and all round phases of the rugby code as it should be played. Of a poor pack, Everington and Arch were the pick. Beavan worked hard, but if he aspires to obtain a reputation above the ordinary, the sooner the better he puts a little intelligence into his plav. This quality has hitherto been con- spicuous by its absence. This is meant kindly, with a view of stimulating the player mentioned to better things. The home halves had to contend with a warm pair of opponents in Hall and his partner. Rhys Re-es worked diligently, and managed somehow to get possession of the ball occasionally, not much thanks to his forwards though. On several occa- sions he attempted to set his, backs going by transferring to Mog Bevan, but the latter has developed a great failing. Tommy Arnold was condemned, and right- ly so, in being too partial to kicking, and ignoring his three-quarters; but Bevan, in contrast to Arnold, has somehow given birth to a new and great conception of his ability to penetrate, on his own, the defence of his opponents without some- times calling upon his three-quarters'for assistance. This player was repeatedly tackled with the ball in his possession when his backs ought to have been placed in motion. This is a little criticism given in no bad spirit, but in the sincere hope that the symptom he has manifested will bo remedied. Of a poor set of three-quarters, Stoyle was pre-eminent, and he was the one jnan that appeared to be reliable. Of course, the three-quarters were not given many chances to really attack. Flooks was on one occasion given a fine opportunity, and took his pass' finely, running strongly for the line. This young player has any amount of dash and pluck, with a. good turll of speed, but he has no idea of swerving or doubling his opponents, and thereby in the course of a season loses many chances of registering tries. Down- ing, the new man, proved on the whole safe. It would be unfair to criticise this player, he being a half-back, and the cir- cumstancøs of the game would not war- rant it. Peter Lockman proved up to his reputa- tion. but it seems a great pity that he gets croched so often, and it is to be hoped that in the stiff League encounters he will be fortunate in avoiding mishaps. The result of the game can be defined solely and simply as a lucky ending for the Darians, and it is our wish that no more sluggish performances of last Satur- day's nature will be witnessed on the Ynys again.
Association.
Association. The visit of Aberdare to Rogerstone on Saturday last was a disastrous one in the extreme, the Monmouthshire men being in exceptionally fine form. Five- goaia to one in favour of Rogigy is such an unusual result as far as the Dare boys are- concerned that one naturally asks: "vVhere lies the fault?" Judging by the- ciL'Counis of the match, there was only one team in it, but like all great teams the Darians, evidently had their day off.. The solitary goal scored by Robertson was the result of a splendid effort on his part, Connor, the home custodian, being-, easily beaten. Christmas Day is eagerly looked for- ward to by partisans of the Dare eleven. Treharris, the redoubtable cup-holders,, will be seen on the New Athletic Grounds.. The game will practically decide the Championship of the South Wales League, as both clubs are going strong in that competition. The game will also give the spectators some idea as to who will be the victors in the 3rd round of the Welsh Cup in January. When placed on their' mettle the Darians can undoubtedly make matters warm for any' side in South Wales, and it is to be hoped that they will pull themselves together and regain- some of their lost prestige. Neither of the Thursday Clubs had a. match, the Soccerites being without a fixture, while the Ruggerites, who were, to have met the Cardiff University on the- latter's enclosure (owing to Secretary Leaker receiving a wire that the ground was not in a fit condition for play) did not make the journey.
---__------Assauit-at-Apms…
Assauit-at-Apms at Aber- dace. On Thursday last a grand assault-at- aims was given at the Memorial Hall by the Aberdare Company of the Churcn Lads' Brigade, under the direction of Mr. G. li. Cope, in aid of the Brigade's funds. There was a good attendance. The A ber- aman Company were also in attendance. The proceedings were opened with an ex- hibition of firing exercises. Then came a display of physical training with arms and physical training without arms, fol- lowed by some good bayonet practices. An exhibition of "modern magic." which included sleight-of-hand performences. was next contributed by Mr. J. Giles. A squad of the company were also success- ful in their ambulance drill The second part of the programme opened with a barbell display, followed by Indian Club exercises, which were exe- cuted with precision. The parallel bar display was performed in an admirable manner, and elicited rounds of applause. Lantern slides showing views of Chn1") Lade' Brigade Inspections and Camp Life were displayed by Mr. F. Pardoe. Mr. Tom Hayter rendered a mandoline selec- tion entitled, "Blue Bell," the chorus being joined in by the company. The accompanists were Messrs. George Tern- pieman and T. Andrews, St. Michael's College. Aberdare Literary Society. On Wed- nesday week the meeting of this society took the form of a debate on the question, "Would the severance of the Indian Emj pire from Britain benefit the atter. Mr. W. R. Williams, B.Sc., championed the affirmative, and Mr. A. Devonald the negative. Messrs. J. Harry Reed, G- Thomas, E. S. Hall, L. H. Miles, C. R. Vicary, and J. Griffiths spoke, the con- sensus of opinion being in favour of the retention of India, the voting revealing" an overwhelming majority for the nega- tive. Mr. P. T. Rhys presided. Tabernacle Young People's Society. The meeting on Thursday last took the form of a Bible Study dealing with the Prophet Isaiah and his times. The Rev. J. M. Jones, the pastor, gave an instruc- tive address on this topic, which address was well illustrated and explained by means of a chart and maps provided by Mr. Jones. The members of the society had mustered in good numbers.

A pianofote solo was then given by Mr. T. Morris, Aberaman; comic songs by Mr. LI. Jones, comedian, Mountain Ash, and a eolo by Mr. J. F. Jones, each being en- cored. Imitations of well-knewn comed- ians and musical instruments contributed byMr. Gus Preece, Aberaman, caused great laughter. Mr. G. Leighton now occupied the chair, and was greeted with "For he's a jolly good fellow." After apologising for his late coming, Mr. Leighton said that he felt pleased to be present on that aus- picious occasion. The Cefnpennar A.F.C. had showed themselves to be a worthy football club.
