Football. (Continued from page 10). I, LAN DUD NO AMATEURS v. DENBIGH. THE "DOGS" AGAIN DEFEATED BY AN ODD GOAL. (BY "FIDELIS.") Denbigh were the visitors to Llandudno on Saturday, and the spectators were more than rewarded by seeing some very pretty fooftiball. The home team were without the iservices of Jack Lurut and Jacob Williams, the vacancies being taken by Sam Williams and T. Johniscto. The visitors were fully represented, with the ex- ception of H. Hughes taking the place of Randies. A peculiar fatality seems to have at- tached itself to the Denbigh .team, as they seeim to suffer defeat on each oc-oasioin by the odd goal. There were a goodly numibar of specta- tors present when Mr. Beech lined the. players up in the following order — Llandudno: R. Lunt, goal; J. 'H. Jones and Sam Williams, backs; T. Jo-hnison., G. Davias, and H. Pearson, halves; W. A. Williams, H. Alderson, Johnny Wililiams, Brookes-Evans, and F. Roberts, forwards. Denbigh: Sam Griffiths, goial; Llew. Rees and R. T. Williams, backs; Luth. Evans, T. A. Davies, and T. Dav-ies, halves R. WI. Evans, E. E. Davies, D. Jones, D. H. 'Hughes, and B. Da vies, forwards. ft The visiltors won the toss, and elected to play wiitlh the slight breeze, towards the isea. It was soon evident that thosl2 who had colmie down in the hQpels of seeing some pretty work, were not to return disappointed, as the visitors were very soon at work, T. A. Davies putting in some very neat work, and placinfg the ball very cleverly to Hughes, that player sending to B. Davies, who went down the wing at a great, pace, and senit acrclss a lovely centre, which went haggling. The homesters- wiere somehow unalble to get into their srtride; Ithedr movements appeared cramped. Then. again they were not allowed much rope, tihe visiting trio, paying close euttien- itiion. Soon after, however, 'a nice opening was made by Johnson, who transferred to Williams- on the wing, and after beating T. Davies-, tinalt player made for the centre before Blending acrzotsfs to the left, where Griffiths, having the choice of two evils, "'Staying1 din goal, or manning ouit," chose the laitlter, but in the sma;mible for pos- session, he unfortunately loslt his feet, and Ro- berts put into, an open goal. This. reverse was the means of making the "Dogs" -show their teeth and had their shooting been anything hike up to' (the mark, they would have speedily drawn, level. Johnson, soon after, almost brought about the homesters' downfall, as in trying to "ar, he senlt a dropping shot juislt over the bar. The ensuing corner was put ouitiside. Some very pretity work was now put in by the visiitons'' line of attack, and but for the grand defence of J. H. Jones, they would have oertailny broughlt about a score. From a mis-kick, E. Davies goit. hold and had a glorious chance, within ten yards' range, but shot miserably weak. The "Dogs" now monopolised the play, but could do everything but score, sihot after shot going outside. "Sooner" Jones now (got hold and was making tracks for Lunt, when he was: badly fouled by G. Davies within the dreaded area. Thli's was mlOSít unfortunate for Jones., as lie looked a scorer all the way. It would have been a picitre for "Rex" could he have see,n the faces along the line as Mr. Beech poinlted to the pen ality mark. "Gloom, intermingled With ,sihinte." This Was,, hiowtever, -shorit-jliived as "Sooner" Jones sent in, a ite-rrific shot, which iwiais miakiinig under the bar, but Lunt, with a siDring, brought off a brilliant save. ^Vhait the linieisim'an waved his: flag, no-nsenise But, huslhi! I w.illl ten you Siomielthinlg. He afterwards told me that he waved his flag in preference to his (hialt Naughty linesman, to allow yourself to be carried away like that. After some very preltty footwork the. "Dogs" were back again, but it was the Slalrfiie story, bad shooting. It seemed sit:nani°i- that in. umdfield they had complete con- trol over tihie ball, but when in front of goal their work was of the very worst order. hfltør a seies of corners, which proved -abortive, half- time arrived wiiith the -sico-fle: Llandudno, i Denbigh, mill. < On resuming hostilities, the Coa-'iuoianits were the first: to aititlack, the right wing being a source of worry to the visiting backs. They were likened to a couple of terriers, they would not be beaten off. I must again call aitltenitiion to the home captain, for -callinig out to the players, as, I feel sure that had Alderson and Watlliams been left to. work out their own plans much better results would have been obtained. The Cormoranitis now appeared to. have got the measure of their opponents:, and Johnny Wil- liams sent in several shots which, looted like scoring all the- way, but Griffiths was iin, one of hi's best moods, and delailt with high and low qho+is alike with a coolness- which was surpris- ing The- "Dogs' front line were kept well m ha°rid during this half, and it was only on few occasions that they were allowed bey-and the half- way line. G. Davies paid close aitltenitiion to "Sooner" J-oines:, in fact, he had no- ^Sooner eat possession than, Georgia was at his betels. The- left wing was also upset by the spotting i+inctiias of Johnson. It was- certainly an after- noon for corner kiickis, in fact, towards- the- cloise, t;li r<: would ibe fully -a dozen an as- many minutes. The home team could not mate use of them, but alii the glory goes- to Griffiths, for his .splendid display. Nothing worthy of no.as- -occurLl till close- of play. A most attractive igamje ending in a victory for the Oormo-rante by i goal to nil. LLANRWST v. BLAENAU FESTINIOG. THE ROOSTERS JUST WIN! (B\ "VIGILANT.") For the first time in a long period I visited the Gwydyr Park on Saturday, and found the home of the Roosters in -a quagnure condition, as other grounds, Colwyn Bay for instance, are under tihe abundance of rain that has fallen. I went there in anticipation of seeing a lively came and a crowd of enthus-iasits as- in the days of vore but 1 saw neither. At the outsat I must sav the' ground was hardly fit for a game more especially the half nearer the river. I was ven to understand that the Quarrymen of Slateiana would have included -in their ranks Kfnnear, Hutt, and^Will__ Memon Jonas, but
