WELSH AMATEUR CUP. BANGOR RESERVES v. CARNARVON UNITED. A GLORIOUS WIN FOR THE CANARIES. THE HOIMIELRIS BEAiTEiN AT ALL POINTS. (BY "VIGILANT.") Too CANARIES this seasoin,.iiave shown such a levelling-up in. their all-romad play that I was looking forward to a good display by them 00 Saturday at Bangor. That the latter team, suffering under the reverse of the previous Satur- day at Bean maris, would make thingis hum roulnd the Yellow Ones was a natural thing to expect. But it never came oft. Indeed, the boot was on the other leg, for the good old V.ANIARIIES romped round the Homers and led them a rare dance. I was more than suprised with the exhibition given by the county town men. It rosa to the occasion, and quite putt the Bangor men out of court with their usual characteristic style. What, Bangor beaten on their own ground ? The mere suggestion SEEMS thit it is impossible. Yet Bangor have had on two, siucceissive Saturdays to. admit defeat at the expense of Beaumaris and Carnarvon. This is a check to the Bajngoriams that will maike the management put their consiiderkiig caps on. 'The ground at Bangor was in an exceedingly heavy condition!, and made the play possibly less fast than it would otherwise have been, and yet the game was a splendid one. It is a long time since I have witnessed, a match that gave me such pleasure. Not that Bangor were play- ing a losing game, but the rare quality of foot- ball that the. bright Canaries were treating us to. It was simply delightful, and beat the Homers—clever as they are—at all points. The weather was favourable to a good gate- between 1,300 and 1,400 persons being present— and of this number the preponderance of parti- sanship was on the side of the Canaries. They had a good following, and, as is usually the case, a good following is a good stimulant to a side when engaged in an important cup-tie. Some of the crowd were of a merry disposition., and gave vent to snatches of songs. Mr. Menzies —.an erstwhile player with the Carnarvon 'Nops —was on the stand, and the following members of the Carnarvon Executive were also present to cheer the players in their work :-Mf. J. L. Harris, Chairman of the Club; Mr. T. H. Gregory, IN charge of the team; Mr. Lewis Jones, the dub's representative; Committeemen Mr. Tom Griffiths (linesman), Mr. William Griffith, Mir. Joseph Jones, Mr. R. J. Williams (Bryu Tegid), Mr. Jam Trevor Williams, Mr. J. Willnams, Mr. Newton (Secretary), and Mr. Hiitchiins (Assistant Secretary). Mr. Alf. Clevere Slater, of Lilart.dudno, was the referee, and the following were the &ides:- B'angor 0. R. Jones, goal; Hwfa Williams and D. J. Tlhomasi, backs Aaron Jones, H. J. Davies, and T. A. Griffiths, halves; Huigihie Owen, Chianlie Burns, Arnold Dargie, Hughie Davies, and Edgar Lloyd Jones, forwards. ■Carnarvon G. H. Jones, goal; Arthur Griffith and E. Hughes, backs; Johnnie Griffiths, Mick Herbert and J. Williams, halves R. H. Roberts, Tommy Roboss, Walter Jones, H. Roberts, and Johnnie Jones, norwards. Winning the toss, Baragor elected to, start to- wards the Church end goal. The Canaries at once got dangerous on the left, and Hwfa and D. J. T. were busy. The temporary repulse was soon nullified the Yellow Ones came down in fine fashion on the right. The Homers could not get going, as the Canaries did not allow a yard to go uncointesited. Johnnie Jones (who, I understand, was: far from being well) paced away beautifully on the left and shot in a splen- did centre, which Twm Bach yr Office tried to catch with his head. This he did finely, and the ball bounded off his cranium over the. bar. Tom is an adept at this kind of work, and was applauded for it. The Homers from the goal kick tried to improve matters, but met with a very crisp and stubborn defence, the half-back play of the Canaries being of the very first water. lit was indeed a very fine half-way line, and as effective as I have ever seen. Splendidly did each of the three rise to the occasion. "En Av.atnt did neither shout nor speak much on the stand, but all the same he rejoiced greatly at the work of the Canaries and smiled know- ingly. En Avant" knows a thing or two about Carnarvon, I can assure you, dear readers. A free kick against the Canaries when close in looked very dangerous. It was, however, smartly cleared. Then a bout of long swinging passes of the real cup-tie order were seen amongst the forwards of the county town men, but Johnnie Jones, by being offside, nullified the good work. Huighie Owen end Burns tried to make head- way with some neat work. Hughie's ultimate shot was wide. Then we had some moire spark- ling and dashing play by the Canaries, who swooped down gaily. D. J. Thomas came to the rescue with a huge return. The Bangor men gained an advantage from this, and made some lively plav cii the left. Edgar diddled one or two ot his opponents, and sent in <:L .-iiz, «.v ift swift gromndei that completely beat G. I.I. who tried to get at the ball. Having opened the scoring amidst a round of hearty cheering, the Biangor men tried to improve, matters. But the reverse had an electric effect upon the Canaries, who forced the game by some of the prettiest work one would wish to see. Tom Roberts seemed to raise the siege, and led the way, and was wonderfully coo] and effective. He was fast becoming a favourite—when is he not? —with the crowd. By the way, this delightful player is one of the old 'Nops, and, in my opinion, is as. good as ever. I have never seen him better. Bravo, Tom! Your methods are wonderfully clever and fascinating. Bangor re- taliated ani forced the play, and we now saw a flash of the old Bangorian style. Offside against Hughie Owen, however, prevailed to check the movement. Fiom the place kick the Canaries swooped down by delightful combina- tion. Walter Jones sent in a teaser that hit the side of the post and curled into the net. Then arose a cheer that quite overwhelmed the pre- viouIs cheer. Matters were now level. Hand- shakes were now plentiful in the Canary ranks. Keeping up their play with exquisite work by J. WiiMaims, Johnnie Griffiths, and Mick Herbert, the .'Bangtoriians were continually getting the worst of the exchanges, and another sedge on the Bangor citadel was raised. In a few moments a deafening shout was heard, for Tom Roberts had defeated 0. R. Jones and given the Yellow Ones the lead. Enthusiasm now knew no bounds, and the popularity of the situation Was evident from the gtlet" that prevailed amongst the crowd. It seemed strange that the Bangorians were so totally unable to put the devil into their frontal work. Dargie, it must be confessed, was bottled up," and that in such a manner, I should think, that he has rarely experienced before. Dick Jones, the news- agent, had shouted out in the earlier part of the game to the Bangor players, Remember Car- narvon, 2-1." That voice was now still, for the boot was on the other leg. Poor Dick, what a closure on volubility, and stentorian shouts of encouragement! As if they remembered Dick's words, the Bangorian van improved now, but soon were dispossessed. A swinging rush to t'he other end, with Walter Jones prominent, ended in the offside rule again being respected by Mr. Slater. Bangor gained a free kick for hands, and Bums shot im. Jones saved easily. Bangor now for a while persisted in being in Canary territory, and desperate efforts were made to equalise. Hughie Owen, being judiciously fed, managed to swing in a magnificent square pass. Dargie was close in front of Jones, but mysteri- ously failed to hook the ball, and amidst a cry of "Oh!" Carnarvon breathed again. This was an opportunity given to Dargie that did not come his way afterwards. Still the Homers were having the best of matters just before half- time for a little while, and half-time arrived with the score: Carnarvon., 2 Bangor, 1.

HOLYHEAD v. Li ANDUDNO. DRAW AT HOLYHEAD. (BY ROLAND.") Ideal conditions favoured the playing of the third round in the Welsh Amateur Cup compe- tition on Saturday, when Holyhead Swifts were at home to Llandudno Amateurs. The latter team were not at full strength, but they suc- ceeded in making a drawn game of it, and but for a lucky equalisation of the scores a second before time, the Llandudno boys would have won the game. The referee was Mr. E. Lloyd Williams, and the teams were as follows — Holyhead: Collier, goal; Jim Evans and Rowland Williams, backs; J. Rowlands, W. T. Jones, and R. Ellis, halves; W. S. Owen, R. C. Jiones, O. B. Edwards, Johnny Jones, and H. Brown, forwards. Llandudno Lunt, goal; J. I-I. Jones and Harold Pearson, backs; W. Edwards, George Diaviies, and W. S. Owen, halves W. D. Wil- liams, Brookes-Evans, J. Brown, W. Roberts, aini Tim Williams, forwards. J < < The opening stages of the game were rather slow, but the visitors held the upper hand. After end to end play, in which the Amateurs shewed considerably better judgment and more smartness than the homesters. The ball was sent out to the right by J. Brown, and W. D. Williams raced after it in keen competition with Rowland Williams. The right winger, however, got there first, and sent in a long shot, which, though well directed, had little sting, and which in nine cases out of teft, would have been cleared by the most juvenile of custodians. This, how- ever, was the odd case, and Collier miscalcu- lated his kick, the ball passing slowly between his legs, and registeriThg the first goal for the visitors. Certainly the point was not an ill- deserved one, though the attempt itself was hardly worthy of being termed a good shot, for the visitors had done more pressing than the other side, and had it not been for the very fine play .of Doctor," and W. T,, they must surely have got through on several occasions. Up to now, the home forwards had not got going at all, their passes being badly judged, and the in, dividual play of Salisbury being met with clever and persistent work by the left half—also a W. S. Owen. This leverse brightened up the home team, and they dashed along most creditably, R. C. finishing the movement with a crashing shot which went oruly a few inches wide of the mark. Back came the visitors, and a most exciting struggle took pTace in front of Collier. The centre shot. Doctor met and kicked hard. J. Brown met and promptly shot, but Collier caught, and in a trice had cleared. The Swifts went down the slope again, but Pearson cleared them out, and a beautiful opportunity presented itself to W. Roberts, who miskacked, and thus lost a grand chance. The visitors continued to have the better of the game. J. Brown sent in a stinger, which Collier caugjit in mid-air, and eluding the impetuous rush of W. Roberts, got it away, while Roberts went headlong into the net. Several times Collier had to save before the whistle blew for half-time, and he did it well, so that the score was only i to nil when coffee time came. < < The second half was productive of much more excitement, and the Swifts played a much more superior game to their former exhibition. In the first minute 0. B. smartly eluded Pearson and Jones, and with marvellous rapidity sent a sufrptise shot, just a foot the wrong side of the upright. Very smart work by the home for- wards kept Lunt and his covering very busy, and they were for ten minutes hemmed in. Bob Jones made an opening and then parted to Hugh Brown, who, taking deliberate aim, sent in a shot with a most peculiar twist on it, so what when Lunt bent to catch it, the, ball rebounded from the ground and sailed over his head into the net. This "quahsång goal brought forth greaft enthusiasm from the home supporters. O. B. had a sporting chance" of getting through on his own, but failed, and another good opening was lost. A fine shot was smartly intercepted by J. H. Jones, and Lunt had soon after to save several good tries, the best being from O. B.a lightning shot! The homesters had now fairly got the upper hand, but try as they would, they could not make an impression on the scores. Salis- bury Owen eluded his shadow," and shot finely, but this was got away. A sudden break- away by the visitors took the homesters by sur- prise, and a rapid movement ended in the visit- ing centre getting a goal, which gave the visitors, the lead. The homesters now attacked most desperately, but the visiting right back kicked out time after time and thus reduced the danger. Still the Swifts pressed, and a comer was given just before time, and admirably placed by Salis- bury Owen. O. B., with, a last desperate effort, ruished at the ball, and fairly shoved it into the net, thus equalising. Before the centre could be taken. time was announced, with the score standing at 2 all. COMMENTS. Llandudno were the better team in the first half, but in the second the Swifts were im- measurably superioT, and should have got three or four goals. The Llandudno defence was splendid, however, and they deserve much praise for the manner in which they repelled the homesters' attacks. In the first half the visiting forwards played a dashing, well-judged game, and were ably supported by the halves, but after half-time they fell away, and the halves had all they could do to supplement the defensive work of the backs. On the home side, Rowland Williams and W. T. were the best on the day's play. Jim Evans has no funk, but he should add cunning to his other qualities. O. B. distinctly im- proved in the second half. for in the first he did not seem at all like the clever centre we used to watch with such delight. Salisbury Owen seldom got a chance, as his opponent hung on to him most determinedly, though several times he did manage a pretty run. Fame, Salisbury, has its penalities Though, perhaps, there should have been more penalties on Saturday. The other players were not up to the mark in the first half, but in the second they could do any- thing but score. The return match, at Llan- dudno, should be worth seeing. I predict an- other draw.

COAST JUNIOR CUP. COLWYN BAY v. DENBIGH TOWN. A FAST GAME ENDS IN A DRAW. (BY VEDETTE.") Thrice have the above teams sought to settle their differences in the second round of the Coast Junior Cup, and their efforts have yet to be crowned with success. On the first occasion Colwyn Bay won 4-1, but Denbigh entered a protest, which was upheld, and the match or- dered to be re-played. Owing to a combination of circumstances, the game had to be abandoned before time, when Denbigh were leading 2-1, and now, at the third time of asking, the teams draiw 2-2. Denbigh have thus earned the right to play at home, and most probably the match will take place on Saturday, as on that day Denbigh are drue at Colwyn Bay in a League match. The teams have not met in the League this season, and no doubt will have seen quite enough of each other by the end of April. Both clubs were strongly represented, Skelsey making one of his rare appearances for the Bay. The teams lined IUP as follows — Colwyn Bay: C. Hallwood, goal; H. Tonkin and T. McCann (captain), backs Ned Griffiths. T. Wellings, and J. Williams, halves; Moss Jones, Stanley Hughes, H. D. Skelsey, Walter Parry, and J. Ll. Owen, forwards. Denbigh Town Sam Griffiths, goal; Llew Rees and J. S. Williams, backs R. Hughes, T. A. Davies (captain), and Tom Davies, halves G. Lewis., E. E. Davies, J. E. Edwards, Randles, and Berwyn Davies, forwards. Referee Mr. Tom Jones, Holywell. The Bay had the better of the opening ex- changes, and Stanley and Moss made play on the left, but Parry shot wide. The ball" was rushed to the other end, and Berwyn sent in a centre which Edwards headed the wrong side of the post. The Bay attacked, and Skelsey shot in, but Griffiths ran out and kicked away. Owen. rounded Rees, and put in a centre, which he followed up with several cross shots. On one occasion, the spectators shouted "Goal!" but the ball hit the side of the net. On the other wing. Moss was not idle, and swung the ball AEROBE repeatedly, but Rees and Williams averted dan- ger. Set in motion by their halves, the Denbigh forwards got going, and Berwyn, receiving a nice pass., ran down his wing and centred, but McCann met the ball and play quickly returned to the other end. Owen was hurt in the penalty area, but quickly resumed, and after keen play between the Bay forwards and the Denbigh halves, Lewis and Davies, by combined play, nearly got through. On the other wing Ber- wyn centred accurately and there, was a scrim- mage in the goalmouth, which ended in Edwards opening the scoring with a low shot which en- tered the right hand corner of the net. Hall- wood threw himself at the ball, but was un- sighted, and had no chance of saving. On the re-start the Bay attacked, and after a few ex- changes, the heads of Parry and T. A. Davies came into violent collision. Both sustained nasty cuts, but the Bay inside left suffered the more, and had to leave the field. Stanley was prominent with clever play, and nearly forced his way through. For a few minutes Denbigh attacked in dangerous fashion, but the Bay de- fence held out. Relief came, and Skelsey looked likely to score, but the ball was charged down, and after several exciting incidents at both ends, half-time came with the score: Denbigh Town, i Colwyn Bay, o. On resuming, Parry, with his head swathed in a bandage, took Hall wood's place in goal, the latter filling the vacant position as insdde left. The Bay quickly got to work, and the Denbigh defence was subjected to severe pressure. But as so often happens in such cases, the home backs were too intent on attacking, and Berwyn, obtaining possession, raced more than half the length of the field. Although harassed by Tom- kin, he got in his centre, and Lewis, who was close up, had no difficulty in defeating Parry, and placing his side two up. The Bay did not deserve to be behind, and they worked hard to reduce the deficit. The halves nobly supported the forwards, who could do everything sa-ve. score. Tonkin and McCann played over the half-way line, and such pressure as was exerted was bound to meet with success. Denbigh were penned in, and several raids, in which Stanley gave a sterling display, were only beaten back after a severe struggle. Several corners were forced, but althouigh they were well placed by Owen and Griffiths, they were not conve ted. At length there was a melee in the Denbigh goal- mouth, and after Griffiths had twice saved splen- didly, he was defeated by Skelsey. The visitors made determined efforts to increase their lead, but Parry punched away. Berwyn made another of his sensational runs, but after his centre had been disposed of, play for the most part favoured the Bay. Hughes, T. A. Davies, and Tom Davies all rendered, assistance to their backs, who were being sorely pressed. Stanley was fre- quently dangerous, and once when he was going through he was tripped in the dreaded area. McCann took the kick amid breathless silence, (Continued on page 10).

I thought; I was right in assuming that Bangor in the second half would show better foarm. They were also playing into their favourite town end goal. However, it was the Canaries that first showed up like giants refreshed. And here Tommy Roberts and Walter Jones were nippy, cool, and tricky. No one could help admiring Tom's work. It had a special charm of its own. Some splendid returns of long kicking was seen, and if there was a fault hereabouts it was that both side., skied the leather rather too much. It was quite a treat to observe the work of J. Williams and Johnnie Griffiths. Johnnie Griffiths—good old veteran—had a muddy halt of a face as though he had washed one side with Pear's soap. Did Johnnie fall, or was he pushed? Still, mud had no terror for Johnnie. It was an emblem of war, and he heeded no- thing but the ball. Here was an old player that was showing the young ones the art of man- oeuvring the ball. H. J. Davies. was, as on the previous Saturday, doing Herculean work, but he was on the losing side once more. Aaron Jones was also a wonderful worker on the right, just as T. A. Griffiths was on the left, and they had their work cut out to try and stem the onward rUlSih of the Canary fhelrs. Bangor managed once more to have a look in, and Hughie Owen sent another splendid pass across the goalmouth, which Hughie of the Davies ilik missed this time. The game went on in high ding-dong fashion, raising the interest of the crowd to a great pitch. Good tackling, some neat robbing, some pretty re,-po.ssessings, and ultimate robbinig again made the game sparkle. Bangor were not doing what was expected. It was as well Lewis was in Amlwch by this. Cr- narvon, on the other hand, were exceeding ex- pectations, and a sense of feeling now pervaded the crowd that Bangor's force had been spent. The pace and heavy ground also told upon the players. Stall, the Canaries would persist in trying for that net. O. R. Jones saved a high volleying shot, which might have beaten him. I am not mentioning corners since nothing came of them. Suffice it to say that O. R. J. was ulti- mately beaten by a stiff shot from Walter Jones that was taken at long range,, and sailed into, the top corner of the net. Ditto cheers. Ditto excitement. Ditto racking the zinc on the grand" stand. After this it looked as though the enemy had beaten, a retreat, and the at- tackers were storming the town. Several shots were sent in to O. R. J.—three of which came in qWÍ1Ck succession. He saved them. But the game long ago was Carnarvon's, and they re- tired at the end of time victors in the opinion of everyone of the very best-if not the actual best —cup-tie matches I have seen for many a long day. And they thoroughly deserved it. And so say all of us. Final: Carnarvon, 3; Bangor, I.
