Whatever Colwyn Bay may have accomplished in the Coast League, the incontrovertible fact re- mains that in the Junior Cup ties they have never played up to their great reputation. 'Tis true they have beaten Penmaenmawr and Llandudno, but in each tie, they never gave the exhibition displayed by them in the League engagements. This was their mournful experience at Bangor, on Saturday, whither I hied myself in the antici- pation of seeing a stout struggle worthy of two great teams. But happy is he that expected nothing when a cup tie is concerned, for then disappointment will not be his portion. For a quarter of an hour, at the commencement, the Bayites showed manoeuvring that gave the im- pression they would require Bangor quite at the zenith of their powers to overthrow them. But gradually the home eleven began to assert their supremacy. Just as this became apparent, E. Allen and Quinton, the two Bay's backs, came into collision, with the result that the latter had to leave the field, and the visitors were compelled to play with only ten men. A few weeks ago, when the Bayites visited Bangor in a League engagement, it will be re- membered the Bayites were then victors, the re- sult being 4 goals to i in their favour, but the team available for the Bay was, of a far stronger character than that which turned out on Satur- day. With this defeat still warm in the memory of the Bangorians, the Cathedral city had left no stone unturned to have, revenge, with the result that their strongest available eleven stepped on the field of play. A few minutes before the advertised time for kicking off, Sergt. Hunt (Conway), under whose supervision the game was, had the players facing each other in the following order:—Bangor: Goal, E. J. Williams; backs, H. Evans and J. Thomas; halves, R. Ellis, D. Williams (capt.) W. Jones; forwards, C. Burns, R. T. Evans, Kenyon, Moran and Hartrey. Colwyn Bay: Goal, C. Croyden; backs, Quinton and Allen; halves, O. E. Williams, T. Ellis and E. Griffiths forwards, J. Owen, W. Jones, Wellings, Parry and Robert Jones (capt.) The home captain was successful in naming the toss, and elected to play towards the chapel end, with a slight wind in their favour. Wellings commenced operations before a very fair gate. Bangor at once broke away on the right, but Quinton checked, and returned the leather to- wards the centre. Burns, Bangor inside right, got possession, and passing Allen, shot swiftly in, Croyden fisting well away. The relief was of short duration, the home right wing again secur- ing, but O. E. Williams kicked out of play. From the throw in, Moran had a shy, but his effort went wide. A foul against E. Griffiths, close in, led up to a severe attack on the Bay's citadel. Allen, however, headed away, Ellis doing likewise from a return shot. Moran was next conspicuous with a fine bit of work, and passing to Kenyon, the latter forced a corner off Quinton. The flag kick was well put in, and O. E. had to relieve at the expense of another corner, but the Bangor half-back, Ellis, placed the ball yards over the bar, thereby giving the defenders relief. A fine run by Wellings, who passed to the outside left, was spoilt by J. Owen being fouled by Evans, the Bangor right back. The free kick, however, brought no ad- vantage to the Bayites, who were easily driven out by the home defence. Pressure was brought to bear on the Bay's goal, and after an exciting time, in, front of Croyden, Allen cleared with a huge kick, but the sphere was met by the home captain, who sent well down into the Bay's territory. As Kenyon was getting dangerous, Ellis fouled him and a free kick was the result, from which the Colwyn Bay custodian was bombarded for some considerable time but the ball was even- tually put over the line. The visitors' forward rank backup to this played in a very desultory fashion, tne home. backs having very little diffi- culty in keeping them at a safe distance from their goal. A splendid effort by Moran was spoilt just in time by Allen, who cleared in fine style. After some give-and-take play in midfield, Burns at last got possession, and passed outside to his partner. The latter, getting well away, centred the ball finely, which Moran met at the nght_ moment, and transferred it into the net, opening the score for the Bangorians. This reverse somewhat roused the visitors, who, from the centre swooped down on the Ban- gor goa J. qwen sent in a beauty, with which he had hard lms, his effort going right across the goal mouth. A determined attempt was made to lower the cathedral city's colours, by Ellis, from midfield, Evans having to put the ball over the bar. The corner kick was well placed, but the home defence were on the alert, and the in- vaders were soon driven out. Hartrey and Moran between them took the ball well up to- wards Croyden, only to be beaten by Quinton, who quickly changed the venue. A clever move by Wellings was frustrated by Thomas, the former having to pass back to Ellis, who. shot strongly in, the leather unfortunately going wide. Following upon this there were a- succession ss-^ s on the visitors' goal but without any angi e result, Croyden saving well from a shot by Moran, which -just went under the bar. A series of exchanges followed and at last Kenyon secured and raced away, nicely tricking ^llen' and ?ettin§ lnto dangerous proxi- mity to Croyden, where O. E. Wllfiams nyipped in and brought off a timely save. The Bayites' right wing then had a look ln, and Thomas was compelled to concede a corner, the flag kick, however, being put outside by Williams. A 0"' clever bit of headwork by Kenyon, in front of Croyden, the Bangor centre forward finally head- ill, over the line. J From the goal kick Parry fastened on the ball and was making good progress, when he was tackled by Thomas, who successfully cleared. The Bangor quintette came towards Croyden in a threatening manner, and Kenyon shot strongly in, only to find the Bay's custodian on the alert. The visiting forwards now had a look in but Parry shot very erratically, when in a splendid position. A regrettable incident now took place, necessitating Quinton leaving the field. A raid by the Bangor forwards was checked by Quinton, who failed to clear well, when Allen rushed up and in endeavouring to kick the ball, at the time Quinton was trying to head away, the former's knee came in contact with Quinton's face, com- pletely dazing him, and forcing him to retire. With only ten men, the Bay continued the game, and from the throw up Croyden brought off a magnificent save. The Bangor forwards were, however, not to to denied, and a few min- utes afterwards Kenyon got possession and com- pletely beat Croyden for the second time. Half time immediately arrived with Bangor leading by 2 goals to nil. Excitement was intense when Kenyon started the ball rolling in the second portion. The Bay- ites were compelled to play only one back, and, very unsportsmanlike, Bangor, with their full team, resorted to the same measure, Thomas going amongst the halves. This robbed the game of much interest, and science was altogether out of the question. For some time play continued in midfield, neither team gaining much advan- tage. At last Bangor broke away, and a foul close in was awarded them. The ball was put across to Burns, who ran down and scored, whilst the Bayites were ineffectually claiming for offside. The seasiders after this, made a half-hearted attack, Evans having no difficulty whatever in pulling them up, and kicking out. The next movement of importance was a break-away by Kenyon & Co., and, when nicely down, Moran passed across to Burns, who banged the leather past Croyden, but was ruled offside, and the point was disallowed. Once more the home, forwards took up the running, on the left, but Allen proved an unsur- mountable stumbling block. Shortly afterwards, Burns received the ball from Kenyon, and, send- ing in a long shot, which, much to the surprise of the spectators, Croyden allowed to beat him. A very flukey goal indeed. The centre kick was muddled, and Bangor were awarded a free kick, but were soon driven out, and the Bay were once more on the aggres- sive. Evans missed his kick, and Thomas rush- ed across, but was too late, for W. Jones had sent the ball in with lightning rapidity, com- pletely beating Williams and registering goal No. i for the Bay. The Bayites were now beginning to' feel their feet for the first time, and soon afterwards Thomas was forced to' concede a corner, which O. E. put outside, much to the chagrin of the Bay's supporters. Progress was then made by the home right wing, but Allen kicked outside the enclosure. Kenyon, with a fine run beat Allen, but the latter recovered himself just in time, and placed the ball in safety. Burns had a pop at Croyden, only to find the visiting custodian on the alert. From a throw in, on the Bangor half, Evans, the, home outside right, received the sphere, and, tricking Allen, at once made towards Croyden. Strange to say, no, one attempted to pursue him, and whilst the Bay were claiming for offside, Evans took the ball from over the half- way line, Croyden being the only player in that half of the field. Right down went the outside right, whilst Croyden waited between the sticks for his prey. Evans came within a yard and shot, Croyden saved, but the former again got the ball and placed it gently into. the net-the softest goal I have ever seen on the football field, without a doubt. Bangor pressed considerably, and were very persistent in their attacks. Bob Evans handled the leather when in a capital position, and brought relief to the Bay. Parry compelled the home back, Evans, to concede him a corner, but Williams again failed to put the ball into play. Bangor broke away, and Croyden was forced to throw behind, the corner kick being effectually cleared by the visitors. Wellings at last got going, and when in the eighteen yards area was met by the two Bangor backs, who deliberately handled the ball, but this was unnoticed by the referee. The Bangor custodian, fully expecting the whistle to blow, got the ball and carried it, for which he was penalised, but the free kick was of no avail to the Bayites. The home forwards then made a rush, but Allen put outside, and before play was resumed the whistle sounded to cease hostilities, the final score being: Bangor, 5 goals Colwyn Bay, i goal. The Bangorites were undoubtedly favoured on Saturday last, in the first instance, through the Bayites being unable to put on their full strength, and secondly, in having only ten men to contend with for nearly three-quarters of the game. I am not going to defend the Bay, for, to my mind, a more wretched exhibition of football on their part, I have never seen. Croyden was only fair in goal. Some shots he saved remarkably well, but others which looked simple enough, easily beat him. Allen played a sterling game, especi- ally after losing his partner, but I must blame him for letting Evans go down the field without endeavouring to pursue him. The Bangor man was not at all offside on this occasion, besides which, Edgar played the ball himself. Ellis. at centre half was decidedly off; he didn't play half the game expected of him. Neddy and O. E. put in some capital work these two and Allen were the only three who did any real hard work. What to say of the forward line, puzzles me. Where was the usual dash displayed generally amongst the front rank it was conspicuous by its absence. W. Jones was the cleverest of the line, but far too weak for the defence against him. Surely, there is no such word as "funk" amongst the Bay's umtette Bangor fully deserved their win, but not by so large a margin. Their forward line had plenty of pluck, and every advantage was sent home. The determined way in which they went to work, aided them in a certain manner to victory. The halves were a good trio, and the two backs were perfectly safe. Williams, m goal, had not much to do, but I think if many shots had come his way, it wouldn't ha^6 taken much to beat him. The only fault I had with Bangor was playing the one back game, whilst being fully repre- sented. CONWAY V. LLANBERIS. On Saturday last the Conway lads had for their visitors the redoubtable Llanberis youths, the engagement being a Coast League fixture. Neither team figure prominently in the table, and it was only lkely. both, elevens would put in all they knew, in their endeavour to better the posi- tion now held by em When the lads from the old castle town visited Llanberis, they had to journey there minus the services of their centre half, and, although a substitute was forthcom- ing he was of very lttle use, and with the poor display of the Conway team all round, the. Beris- ites completely walked round them, and they wiere sent home o re ect on a 6 goals to nil score against them. The Conway committee were not slow in recognising the fact that they would be required to turn out as strong a team as possible for the return fixture, and Saturday last saw the Conway eleven completely re-organised. Tom Jones, their usual full back, who has of late been out of form, was given a timely rest, and the services of Matthew? were requisitioned in his place, Wil- son also partnered Stone on the wing, whilst Ted Evans (who usually plays centre forward) ex- changed places with his brother at centre-half, Ben going centre forward. t Punctually to time, the teams faced each other, and the visiting captain having defeated Edwards, the home skipper, in the spin of the coin, elected to play against a rather stiff breeze which was blowing at the time. Ben Evans com- menced operations on behalf of the homesters, and immediately a flying visit was paid into the visitors' territory, finishing up with a grand shot, which the Llanberis custodian saved with great skill. From the goal kick the visitors had a look in, and a capital run down on the right was eventually cleared by the home captain. After a few minutes' steady play, Ben Evans secured the ball from a clearance by T. Edwards, and getting nicely down the field, passed at the right moment to J. R. Jones, who, seizing the advan- tage offered to him, made no mistake, and landed the leather into the net, the Llanberis goal- keeper not having the ghost of a chance. .J< With a goal ahead, there was no denying the homesters, who, from the centre kick, went to work with a will, and very soon were again in dangerous proximity to the Llanberis goal, and in. less time than it takes to' say Ben Evans had again lowered the visitors' colours with a beauty. With the wind in their favour, the homesters were doing all the pressing, and it was of rare occurrence that the quarry lads were able to get over the half way line. When this happened, it was of short duration, as the home defence was quite equal to any demand made upon it. From a throw in, Ted Evans passed the leather to Wil- son, who made away at full speed, and giving the ball with great judgment to Stone, the latter made tracks towards the visitors' citadel, and got down right into the Llanberis goal mouth, where the visiting back deliberately handled the sphere. The referee rightly and at once awarded a pen- alty. This was left to the care of Ellis to negoti- ate, who well and truly shot the ball with uner- ring aim into the net, thereby putting the Conway lads three goals to the good. Elated with this success, the homesters put in some good work, the forward rank pressing continuously, and causing the Llanberis defence an anxious time. Not to be denied, Conwav continued their forcing tactics, and a few seconds later Evans tried a shot at goal, but nothing resulted, and the Llan- beris forwards got going, only to be pulled up suddenly by the home halves. A regular bom- bardment of the visitors' goal followed, and on one occasion the homesters were nearly re- warded for their persistent attacks. However, the whistle sounded soon after for half time, and Conway had a good lead of 3 goals to nil. On changing ends, the Berisites at once used forcing actics, and a couple of minutes from the re-start the Llanberis centre forward had a shot at goal, which little Llew smartly stopped, but had to concede a corner in attempting to save. The flag kick was well taken, the ball being drop- ped in the goal mouth, but Ted Evans got his head to the sphere, and headed away out of dan- ger. The outside right of thevisitors was playing a capital game, but he was well looked after by Tom Edwards, who allowed him no scope what- ever in which to shew his abilities. Llanberis, a moment afterwards, seemed almost like scoring, but Evans rushed up and saved just in the nick of time. So the game proceeded, Llanberis, although having the wind in their favour, only managed to get the ball past Llew twice, one of them being from a penalty kick, which decision by the referee was very doubtful from the spectators' point of view, as Ted Evans was a good yard outside the limited area when the sphere was accidentally kicked against his hand by a Llanberis player. Conway added another goal, and ran out the winners of a good game, the final result being Conway, 4 goals Llanberis, 2 goals. < The following turned out for Conway: -Goal, Llew Parry backs, J. E. Matthews and O. Ellis halves, Shem Jones, Ted Evans and Tom Edwards (capt.) forwards, J. R. Jones, E. O. Davies, Ben Evans, H. J. Wilson, and W. Stone. Referee, Mr. Robinson, Rhyl. « • The Conway boys were very fortunate in win- ning on Saturday last, and thereby added another two points to their name on the League table. The revenge has been eagerly looked forward to by the lads from the castle town, and to turn the tables of a 6 goals to nil defeat to a 4 goals to 2 victory is one they ought to be proud of. Each one was a trier, and when that is so, some good is bound to accrue from it, as with Saturday last. Next Saturday the Conway lads visit Colwyn Bay and a close game is expected with their near neighbours. » » LLANRWST V. RHYL ATHLETIC. Last Saturday, the Roosters had to travel to Rhyl, where they were down for a League engage- ment. Rhyl are a team of surprises, and al- though they had had a severe drubbing at Col- wyn Bay the previous Saturday, it was with very little fear that they faced the famous team from the Llanrwst town. McCann turned out for the first time for Llanrwst, and at half time the visi- tors were leading by 3 goals to nil, Tommy being responsible for the three. After the interval, came disaster. The Rhyl lads fairly swooped down on Hayes' charge, and before the whistle sounded the Rooster's custod- ian had been defeated four times, and Rhyl ran out winners, the final result being Rhyl Athletic, 4 goals; Llanrwst, 3 goals. WHISPERS. That Colwyn Bay were clean wiped out on Saturday last at Bangor. That the Bayites gave a very poor display. That in playing one back with a full team on Bangor shewed an unsportsmanlike attitude. ■> That "Will bach" was the only forward of any use for the visitors. That the Roosters lost a couple of point with ridiculous ease on Saturday last. That the Penymore boys nearly snatched a victory at Carnarvon. That Conway added another two points to the table last week. That Stone and Wilson shape well together. That Ted Evans's best position is centre half. That O. Ellis is a good back. That it is rumoured the latter and Tom Jones are the backs to do service at Colwyn Bay on Saturday next. That Conway will put on a very strong team in the hopei of capturing another two points. That Llanberis were without the services of two of their best players on Saturday. That Llanberis were completely outplayed in the second half. # # # That their outside, left was no class for them. air That the re-arrangement of the Conway tean proved successful on Saturday, as the result shows.
