COAST SENIOR LEAGUE. OOLWYN BAY v. CONWAY. TWO PENALTIES MISSED. (BY "RAMBLER.") Penrhos field was in a fearful condition on Saturday, it being quite impossible, at some pa,rits of the ground, to stand on one's feet. But the .same state of things existed along ,the coast owing to the recent heavy rain. < It was most unfortunate for the Gulls, when the fact became known that they would have to take the field without the services of Mosls, the two Rowlands, and W. Jones. Thais, necessi- tated drafting tour reserves, and when they flip, peared, it was at once noticed that they were a mixed sort of team. In fact, I doubt whether one or two had turned out previous to this match this .season; but one of these, Hughie Hughes, played as good a game as -any one the field. The visitors arrived at the Bay about 2.20, and at once went to the field, changing at the homle dressing-room. Though, making a poor show in the football world this season, the Blues faced this music with a bold front, and here I must say that they deserved bofth points on the run of the play, but fate, or what- ever you like to call it, was dead against them. Promptly to time, Referee Slater, of LJian- dudno, sounded his Skippers McCann and Tom Jones responding. Tom Jones won the choice of ends on this occasion, and decided to play up the slope for the first half, and in the following order — Colwyn Bay: Hallwood, goal; W. Hughes and H. Hughes, backs; Ned Griffiths, Wellings, and O. E. Williams, halves Bob Moirris, J- T- Owen, McCann, Stanley Hughes, and J. LI. Owen, forwards. Conway: Joe Hughes, goal; Tom ones aad O. Ellis, backs Shem Jones, W. J. Jones, and Sam Hughes, halves; Tom Craven;, Hugh Parry, Atherton, Smith, and Sam Parry, for- wards. ■McCann started, before a poor gate, for the Reds, and Stanley Hughes sent out' to J.LI. Owen, but Shem. captured the ball. Atherton then went away gamely, only to be brought down- just outside, the area, the free kick going wide. Having the advantage of the slope, the Reds forced the game, being ably led by Mc- Cann, but their progress was stopped as J. LI. Owen, was declared offside. A visit to Hall- wood was the net item. Craven forcing a corner, which was badly placed. J. Ll. Owen, who wa,s playing a splendid game, easily got the best of Tom Jones, but after getting close to Hughes, he slipped. There is no doubt that had Jack managed to keep on his feet, a certain goal would be scored; he soon made amends, for from his centre, McCann opened the account with a swht ground shot. » From the centre, the Blues went off, only to see Sam Parry placed offside. From the free kick, J. T. Owen and Bob Morris came away, Sam Hughes rushing up and cleaning into touch, and from the resulting throw in, O. E. drove hard under the bar, Joe Hughes cleverly tipping over. The flag kick was, as usual, dropped in the goal mouth, but was cleared out of danger by W. J. Jones. Wellings was now seen at his best with clever footwork, dodging three or four opponents, and finally giving Joe a warm handful, which he was lucky to save on the goal line. The Blues woke up in earnest, the right wing .combining nicely, and from Craven's foot Hallwood brought off a dar- ing save. Hardly had he cleared his lines than the ball was returned again by Atherton, to wha,t appeared an open goal, but luck was against the Blues; Hughes happened to be in the goal mouth, and he cleared right under the bar. Try as they would, the Reds could not keep their opponents out of their quarters for, com- ing again on. the left, Smith brought Hallwood to hi,s knees, but Charlie could not be beaten. Hughes was playing a strong game for the Reds at back, saving ,sholtis in a .cool and masterful manner. Hands against O. E. looked promising to the Blues, but Shem shot over. Colwyn Bay had now a look in, J. LI. Owen being pulled up for offside, but Jack was soon back again, and again Tom Jones was beaten, not to menr ition the bath he got when he dropped in a pool of water, &c., and the former's effort deserved better fate than to go over the bar. A flag kick to the Reds was cleared by Tom Jones. 0. E. again got close in, and sent a terrific high drive, which was put over, but nothing came of the flag kick. The Blues in a body travelled up the field, Atherton having what appeared an I open goal, but Hughes rushed out, and Tommy was robbed of a glorious chance to draw level. It could not be said of the Blues that they were slow when an opportunity presented itself. At this point they were hovering close to Hallwood, and the ball was sent into the goal- mouth continually, but score. they could not. Soon after, Craven took a pass from Hugh Parry, and when on the point of shootinp, he was pushed, a penalty being awarded., which Tom Jones failed to convert, for which he was given hearty cheers by the home crowd. The Cbnwayiltes were not at all dlisheart. enied, for 'barely had the goal kiiok been, taken than.' Craven oa'me away on the right, and senit in a capital centre, which was netted by Ather- ton. McCann raced away from the centre, pass- ing out to Bob Morris, but the whistle sounded for coffee time. The second half opened in favour of the Reds, but they were met with a sound defence, W. J. Jones keeping McCann well under control. Smith, for the visitors, was given a capital open- ing. but he ran the ball over the line. Off- side was declared against Stanley Hughes when he had a fine chance of scoring. Craven sent in another centre, Atherton missing by a few inches. Atherton again got through, but made a misitlake in passing the ball to Smith, who was lying offside. The Blues were now most per- sistent in their attack, as Atherton, getting the 11 .ball in midfield, went through on his own, till he got to a few yards of Hallwood, finally shooting into Charlie's hands. A visit was paid to the other end, where a scrimmage took place ,in front of Hughes, and the ball was netted by McCann. The Blues after this made desperate attacks on Hallwood's charge, but though getting near, they could not score. Yet another penalty was awarded the Blues, and this time Ellis had a chance, but again this went wide, and Charlie was not troubled. On the stroke of time Craven got down, and sent in a terrific drive, which defeated 'Hallwood, but the whistle sounded as the ball was entering the net, and the Blues had to retire defeated for the sixth time in League battles. COMMENTS. Conway played a better game last Saturday than I have seen them play this .season, and, on the run of the ninety minutes, deserved the two points. Let the team be kept together, and we shall soon see them, winning matches. They were fortunate to meet Colwyn Bay with a weak- ened side, it is true, but we cannot expect a team to be at full strength always. I am sorry for the Bay Executive, if they are going to lose the services of the brothers Rowlands, as they were a tower of strength to the Reds this season. Of Hallwood, I will only say he was simply unbeaten, and the defence played a fair game, especially the right. The half division was very sound indeed. Old Ned seems to be im- proving in every match. If the Executive can get a back, they would do well to keep O. E. at left half. In fact, he could play in .any posi. tion. Skipper McCann had a stubborn oppon- ent in Jones, but then Tom was off at times. It will require a strong half-back to master him. The best forward on lie home side was J. LI. Owen. He was miles too smart for Skiproer Jones on Saturday. I thought nipper Hughes lather lazy on this occasion. Perhaps he was keeping his energy for next Saturday. J. T. Owen and Morris formed a fair wing. One or two of the Conway Executive journeyed to the Bav on Saturday with the team, and I have reasons to believe that they were'fully satisfied: with the play of the_ Blues. And let us hope the same team will again turn out against Festiniog next Saturday at home. Joe Hughes played a grand game between the sficksi, whilst they had a sound defence in both back and half-back division. Jones, as centre- half, is a vast improvement to. the team. I am glad' my .suggestion, of a few weeks back, that of keeping the forwards together, has been adted upon. They need not fear of the result in a very short time. The forwards seem to know one another well, and clever combination was witnessed amongst them. WITH CONWAY AT COLWYN BAY. FROM PENRHOS COLLEGE TOWER. Poor, unlucky Conway, not. having won a match this .season., journeyed to Colwyn Bay on: Saturday, and strange to say there was' an undercurrent of confidieillceamong the players that they would obtain their first brace of points. Arriving on the ground, we found it a real quagmire, the bigger portion being covered with water. Colwyn Bay were short of W. Jones, 'Moss Jones, .and Rowlands, while Cbn- way had their be.st available eleven. Referee Slater, pity he has not been available all the season, got the tealms together at 2.45. Con- way were soon pressing. Hallwood saving time after time. They were awarded a peinaly kick, Skipper Tom Jones placing the ball yards wide of the upright. Colwyn Bay then had a turn at pressing, Wellings doing good work, and from one of his openings the homesters obtained the first goal. Just on half-time Atherton got through, passing to Craven, who returned the sphere, en- ablingjthe cetrtre-forward to open the score for Ooinway, the whistle imlmediately going for half- time. Ends changed, Conway were again press- ing, and obtained a penalty kick, which was en- Itausfed to O. Ella, who put yards wide. Col- wyn Bay pressed for some time, and a weak, clearance by Tom Jones enabled McCann to score a grand goal. The visitors then took up the attack, getting through and completely beat- ing the back time after time, but luck and the heavy ground were against them, an,d they re- tired in sefi-darkness beaten 2 goals to 1. The visitors were undoubtedly the bettber team. Joe Hughes., in goal, shewing very good form. The backs were good and bad in turns. Oh! how they missed those penalty kicks,—shades of Bob Owen. The wing halves were weak. The for- wards, with the exception of Sam PaiNy-wlhio was not up to. his usual form.,—played well up to a certain point, but were weak in front of goal. Breeze failing to avail himself of sevetial good chances. Hallwood, for the homesters, andi H. Hughes, at back, played well, the lat- ter's. play being greatly admired by the crowd. J. LI. Owen often beat .Shem. McCann shewed good generalship, whilst Wellings was the best man on the field. It was a vigorously contested game, and, considering the state of the ground, it was. very enjoyable, and the homeigteris were lucky to win. (Continued on page 11).
