NORTH WALES AMATEUR CUP:- LLANDUDNO V. COLWYN BAY. Beautiful weather prevailed on Saturday afternoon., when Llandudno Amateurs and Colwyn Bay met on tne former's ground to play a fixture in the second nnind fer the North Wales Amateur Cup. llin Jones, of Holywell, was the referee. it The game, which ended in favour of the Amateurs by four goals to onq, was nicely contested all through. At times, the play wa3 fast and furiou?,, but towards the call of time, it was evident that both teams were fagged. On the day's p'ay, however, the beet team won. CONWAY V. BLAiENAL FESTINIOG. On Saturday, B aenau Festiniog visited Conway in the second lound for the above cup. Soon after the commencement, Sam Parry, of Conway,, received from Davies and tested the visitoe's custodian with a good shot,, but failed to score. Several other unsuccessful attempts were made to score. but. at last J. R. Jones opened the score for Conway, and in a few minutes added another goal. At half time the score read Conway 2. Bliaenau Festinioc., 0. During the second half three more goals were scored for Con- way by Joe Hughes, Bob Owen, and Tom ,Griffith. The game was very one-sided, and hardly any of the players on the visitors'

f HOLY HEAD RESERVES V. LLECHID SWIFTS. On Saturday, at Hoiyhead. a match was played betweln the above teams. Mr Thomas, Bangor, was the referee. The visitors won the toss. The Sealarks, attacked with vigour, and within 3 minutes Hyam scored. Llechid Swifts were awarded a comer which came tii naught. They pressed well, but Brown from a tine centre passed to H. O. Jones who sent it spinning into the net The visitors played with plenty of dash, but failed to score. At half-time, the score was: — Holyhead Reserves 6, Llechid Swifts 0.. In the second half, there was but one team in it,the home men carrying everything before them. The visitors struggled bravely ibut all their efforts proved fruitless. For the home side H. 0. Jones scored the seventh goal with a fine shot, and Hyam, who had been tplaying well from the start, scored the ninth goal. H. Oj., Jones shortly afterwards. scored the tenth. The visitors now warmed up,an(i the home men being somewhat fagged out.. Davies i-cored the ?econd goal for the visitors. Final s ore:'—Ho!yhead Reserve.- 10, Llechid Swifts 2. < The Llechid Swifts goa'ie cannot be blamed for the defeat. He did his work admirably, < < H. O. Jones playetf .grandly, and was quite a favourite v, im tne spectators. The captain played as if he was determined liab his team should win, which cf course, it did. Hyam was smart and his efforts were much praisei The defeat of the senior team at Pwllhali was disappointing a, it was fully expected that the Seal ark* would have held their own,, as they have been doing so well this season., Holyhead played better in the second half, but strange to say did not scorw. The game is said to have been very rough. # Another charge is, that they were very slow and heavy. This, no one locally enter- tains for one moment.as on their own ground they are a smarl up-to.date, team, and manage to beat all comers.

HOLYHEAD COUNTY SCHOOL V. (MARINE DEPARTMENT. Plaved on Saturday on the County School ground. Both teams were not at full strength. The school boys pressed from the stait, and, after about ten minutes play Mackay scored their first goal. J. J Ed- wards soon add'ed a second, and five minutes later, the same player ran the ball in from a- centre and scored another fine gcal. The boys were all over their opponents. H. N. Williams hadl a good run along the right and centred at the right moment to Mackay,, who p'an ted the ball ?afe and sound out of Devonald's reach. The Marine Department now showed signs of better play, and thair centre forwards. Edwin Jones scored the finst goal. The school boys again scored through H. N. Williams At half time the resu't was County School 6, Marine Department; 1. The School nlaying up against a. slight breeze soon were in the visitors' territory, after a scrum in front of eralt. the ball went out to Jackson who scored with a gend shot. The Marine D:parif?.nt had a penalty, but Davies saved. J. Jones next scored for the school with a splendid shot,, but ;he goai wTas disallowed on account of offside. The match ended in a win for the School t?y b goals to 2. oJ

NORTH WALES FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. A special meeting of the North Wales Footb.dl As-oc-at-on was held at Llandudno Junction on Saturday, Mr R. John iiughes, Penmaenmawr, presiding. The Llechid Swifts had made a protest against Bangor Druids for playing a man in the first. round of the Junior Cup who was not registered correctly. Evidence wa.s tendered that the player was named Robert David Jones, and was generally known as "David Ccnway," whilst he was assumed to be identical^, with a "Robert Jones" who had been duly registered. The rule is that every player must be correctly registered in his lull name, and the protest was upheld. It was ordered that the tie is to be replayed 11 at Bethe-da, with the same officials., on or before Saturday, December 11. ft ■ ft The BIaenau Festiniog Club prJtested against the action of the L'anrwst Club in I playing five members of the team who won j the Junior Cup at Llandudno last season, it having been laid down bv the Association that the players in a team winning the Junior Cup must not play again in the Junior Cup Competition. They are only eligible for Senior Cup contests. Llanrwst won the match in question by three goals to nil, but the Festiniog representative stated that this fact had no influence upon his club in making the protest. They were good z, 11 enough sportsmen to accept defeat when I regularly inflicted upoii them according to law. The Association unanimously decided that the protest be sustained, and directed the chairman to censure the L'anrwst Club for playing men who they knew veiy well were ineligible for the cup tie. 'I he game wa.s oredited to Festiniog. 7 Mr Post, sta'ed that there was a balance in the bank of JB132. The Secretary stated that a go:d deal of unnecessary correspondence was caused in consequence of club secretaries who wrote to inquire as to the eligibility of players omitting to send sufficient, details a- to the players concerning whom they were inquiring

The sensation of last year's foot- ball season was the defeat of Bangor iat, Bangor by Carnarvon in the 3rd Round of the Wel-h Amateur Cup. The tables were turned with a jrcngeance last Saturday, when another sen- sation was given,, i.e., the defeat of Carnar- von at Carnarvon by Bangor by four clear goals. The occasion wa,s the 2nd Round of the North Wales Amateur Cup, of which Carnarvon are proud holders. The match .was reckoned the event of the afternoon all along the Coast, and everybody expeoled a very close and interesting struggle, a-, the itwo teams are clever exponents of the art, and are very great, but trjendly rivals. The teams were in charge of iMr Slater, who lined them up prompt to time:- Carnarvon:—G. H. Jones; Evan Hugha*. Evan R. Jones; John Griffith, Herbert, John Williams: R. H. Roberts (captain). Tom Roberts, Walter Jones, R. Trevor Ro- berts and Johnnie Jona*. Dangor :—Ted Owen: Ireland, D J. Thomas Arthur Owen, H. J. Davies (cap- tain, D. T. Davies ;;He.i,,y Rowlands,, Charity Burm. Hu,ghle Owen, Ivor Thomas and •Edgar Lloyd Junm. « » Great dis appointment was felt when it was made known that Carnarvon would be minua < e zci-vi -e-- of their captain and vice-captain —Ik.l Griffiths and Hughie Roberts, tw.) of their cleverest players. Bangor included in tlieir ranks many who have figured in the Combination, team—Ted Owen, Arthur Owen. fCha-i-He Burns, Hu,gh e Owen, Ed.gar Jones and D. T. Davies, who was chosen on:e for the Welsh Trial Match at Wrexham, « The game sta-fted in a very spirited fashion,, and Bangor found their feet sooner than the home men, for they did most of the pressing. Carnarvon Tushed to the other end onlv to be driven back with a very steady defence. Bangor pressed hard again and .secured a fre-kick close in. Arthur Owen took the kick,, enabling Hughie Owen to score with a smart header;, giving G. H. no chance of saving,. The struggle now was very interesting,, and Carnarvou made despeate effoits" 0 score. They were now playing a very fine game, and Bangor could not ,get away. Tom Roberts, and Johnrue 'Jones had very hard lines in Lot equalising. Half time airAed with iBangor leading. Bangor 1, Carnarvon 0. # The .second' half started in a very like fashion to the first,, and it was expected that (Carnarvon kicking tow aids their favourite goal wcud soon equalise. But they did not, and Bangor1 secured another easy goal, again through the instrumentality of Hughie and Arthur Owen. The result was new a. foregone conclusion, and Carnarvon s display became more and more ragged. Bangor on the other hand playing a winning game in a jjerj; incisive fashion. No. 3 was soon j gecuied, Harry Rowlands scoring after a veiy fine individual effort, Evan Hughes tackling him very badly. Just before the end. Bangor came ag iin. with a rush and Hughie Davies reg.stei'ed No. 4. Bangor I 4. Carnarvon 0 « • That Bangor deserved to win on the day's play no one will deny, but whether they deserved to to do so by four goals is another question- They certainly did not deserve to lead on the first half, but alter scoring the second goal, they were all over Carnarvon. Carnarvon started in a half-hearted manner. deploring the loss of their two best men, ,who were indisposed. Their loss was seriously felt, for Albert would have steadied the defence and Hughie Roberts would have introduced some method to the forward play. Bangor thoroughly deserved their win on the day'« play, for they played a really fine game They had the ga.me well in hand except for the last twenty minutes :n the first half. Carnarvon were superior then. » Ted Owen in goal was very fine and is still Bangor's cleverest custodian. The backs played well, especially D. J. Thomas, a delightfully cool .player. But the real strength of Bangor on Saturday was its splendid half line. Th v shewga in attack and defence. D. T. Davies was the sta-i. playing an exoeoding'y .good game. H. J. Davies kept a very watchful eye on Walter, and managed to keep him at bay. Arthur Owen was also very effective. The best for- ward was Hughie Owen, and next came Charlie Btirn> two men that Bangor could do w'th in their Combination ranks. Harry Rowlands wa; a-l'o effective, and the left winfr.

NORTH WALES COAST LEAGUE. (Division n.) LLANGEFNI V. LLANDUDNO RESERVED A good crowd were present at Llangefni on Saturday afternoon, when the home team met Llandudno Reserves. The ^xoui.d was in splendid condition, but very dull weather prevailed. The opening stages favoured Llan- gefni, and three corners were cleared. Kyffin struck the crocS-bar from a penalty. Play was in Llangefni half for a wh.te, and when the interval arrived neither .side had scored. » » » In the second Ha'f play, waa exciting. Llandudno goail was at acked, and Lunt clearing weakly, Owen Jones scored. Llandudno pressed hardl, tHamer and Ritchie being prominent in defence. Llangefni 2, Llandudno 0.

back. His fearless tackling against tremend- ous odds drew to.th the warm .plaudits of the crowd. G. H. Jones In goale saved well on numerous occasions and could nob be blamed for Hjhe goals scored against him. Despite the fearless work of the backs. E. ililughe, and E. R, Jones; Albert was very much minted. His coolness and resource on such an important occasion wou d have been Invaluab e. The halves worked ha'd throughout, but to little pur- pose, for the mach.nery could not be set in motion somehow. The least said about the display of the forwards the betten. We admit the lore of the strategist Hughie Robert, but still1 his loss' will not ex- plain the ineptitude of the forward line. We wili be charitable and say it was an "off" day for all of them. There were two habits on Saturday that they could very well drop- grumbling and finding fault with one another, and foo'.ijh handling of the ball ,to no purpose whatever. Chances are frittered away and time is wasted. There is no need to lose heart after one defeat, the lessons should be taken to heart, and we shall see the United again winning matches in a very decis.ive fashion. Cheer up, forward" the best of teams get their eff days. » Just a word about the Referee1—IMr A. C. Slater He enjoys a well-deserved reputation of being an exceedingly capable official. He maintained his reputation on Saturday, but he has also the failings of a strong man. We cannot but think that he is overdoing it, and often spoils the game by 1;g off-side decisions. We acknowledge that he has mastered the off-side rule well, but he is too conscious of his mastery and over- does it. We congratulate him on the highly efficient manner in which he manages both players and spectators. The conduct of the big crowd on Sa' ui'day was exemplary—a finer* sporting; crowd wou'd be hard to find. The match was fought, wen and lost in a truly sportsmanlike manner. Another team that suffered a, fow, clear ,goals defeat was Holyhead, defeated by Pwllheli at PwUhe!i. The game was far from being a gentle one, but Pwllheli were superior on the day's play. Their goals wera Fecured by W. Griffith- Ben Evans, Owen Jones and Johnnie Williams. — Llandudno triumphed over CotKvjyn B y by 4 goals to 1. These near neighbours are old rivals. and. there is always a ding-dong struggle On this occasion Llandudno won rather in easy victory by four goals to one.—C nwa,v 'bea.t Festiniog by five clear goals despite Bob Smith's brilliant goalkeeping.—Boughtoa visited Flint and retiree deÍ3ar ej, by siv goals to one. iDenbiigh drew with yl Grange 2—2, iBerwyn Davies scoring botli for Denbigh. » « m The only League ma'ch played was at Llanberis. The Quarrymen were no match for the 'Varsity men, who won easily by sir ,goals to two. The Students are showinar very smart form, and will soon be the leaders of thte Leaigue at their present rate of securing points. They have 5b en aa acquisition to the League, and the League has provided them with better fixtures thafi they used to have. « ■ » In the 2nd Division, Llangefni captured two points by defeating Llanrfudno lAmateurs Reserves 2—0. Llechid Swifts travelled to Ho'yhead to meet the local Reserve?. The Re-erve-s were in tremendous form, and ran out, easy winners by ten goals to two.

side, with the exception of their goalkeeper, Smith, was in anything like good form. The final result was Conway 5,, Blaenau Festiniog 0. PWLLHELI V. HOLYHEAD. I The visit- of Holyhead to PwilheJi was expected to provide us one of tiie best games in the seaond round of the North Wales Senior Cup. Hoiyiiead have been the proud possessors of the Cup for two seasons in succession (1SQ6—7 ana 1907—8). The homesters realised that they wou.d have 1 to put- forward their best effort# to beat such ] sturdy opponents. The day turned out an ideal cup-tie day, and the ground was in perfect condition. Both teams were at full strength. Holyhead won the tos&" and Pwllheli opened with a. raid towards Collier, beating th* half backs. The backs fumblel with the ball instead of. clearing, and Will < Griffith taking advantage, nipped in and scored a magnificent goal for the home side in less than two minutes from the start. The home side again went towards the visit- ing citadel in a line, tout 'Rowland Wil- liams, with a huge punt cleared. Salisbury Owen tried a Tun cn his own, but Bob Jones robbed him when he was about to shoot. The visitors by long .shots tried to make a move towards the homesters citadel, but try as they would they could not penetrate through the defence. Will, Griffith put R. D. Roberts in possession, and the right winger dashed along the line, and centred to Ben Evans who banged the ball into the corner of the net. The home men played well and had very hard lines on many occasions in not scoring. Ben Evans was seen sailing along the left wing,, but when about to shoot., was badly fouled by Carlile. The v free-kitk came to nothing. The /Halyheadians tried hard to penetrate the home defence,, Johnny Jcnes, McNeill and N,alisbury Owen being very prominent. R. D Roberts ran down the field, and beating Dick Ellis and Rowland Williams, sent the ball flying a few inches, over the bar. From the goal kick the home forwards again paid, a visit to Collier, and he cleared a. shot from Will Griffith at the expanse of a corner. Johnny Williams near'y heading from Ben Evans' shot. At this period the home team were monopolisimg the play, and by a com- bined movement went towards Collier. Their efforts were rewarded this time, Johnny Williiams finding the net with a swift shot. The game was stopped at this period through Will Griffith sustaining a kick, and had to ba carried from the flea; 1. The heme sido pltayeci up, to tho interval with ten men- which they managed to keep their goal in- tact. The whistle sounded for the needful rest with the score, Pwllheli 5, Holyhead 0. The visitors :t1'ièl to move on the left on re-starting, but Thompson easily robbed Johnny Jones, and passed to has forwards- The play was more even in this ha'f—the half backs cn both sides bearing the brunt of the work. Holyhead pressed for a while, but when in good position they shot badly, The pace from now onwards slackened down —both teams ,]>m-sing in turn. R. D. Ro- berts was very prominent with some c'ever runs ajong his wing, and from one of these Now Jones augmented the score for Pwll- heli.

The homesters fully deserved their win, as they were by far superior in every depart- ment. Bob Wil'iams in goal,, had an easy afternoon—what he had to do he di I it in good sty'ie. Both backs played a safe game without being great. The three "Bobs" at half back played a great game, in fact, their splendid, defence and ;attack brought victory to their, team. The "backs" were very tricky. It was a p'ty that WTill got hurt, as it told on him all the rest of the game. Now Jone3 played his usual game,, end Johnny Williams was always there, and fed his oulside man with rare judgment. R. D. Roberts and Ben Evans showed their best form.
