WELSH SENIOR CUP. RHYL v: CONWAY. THE VISITORS OUx CLAYED. (BY VEDETTE.") The above cup-tie did not prove a very great attraction, the attendance for a match of such importance being meagre in the extreme. The day, too, was ideal, but for some reason, the Rhyl football enthusiasts with-held their patron- age. Conway brought a fair number of their followers with them, whose opportunities for ap- plause, however, were few and far between. Teams Rhyl J. Smith, goal; N. Roberts and A. Ro- berts (captain), backs; W. Williams, A. Carter, and G. Morris, halves T. Cotton, D. Hughes, S. Frost, T. Harrison, and B. Jones, forwards. Conway: Joe Hughes, goal; R. T. Williams and Owen Ellis, backs; W. T. Evans, Bob Owen, and Sam Hughes, halves; T. Craven, D. O. Da-vies, T. Atherton (captain,), Saunders, jand Sam Parry, forwards. Referee: Mr A. Clevere Slater, Llandudno. Linesmen: Mr William. Jones, Rhyl, and Mr Tom Edwards, Conway. The ,start was delayed owing to the late ar- rival of Carter, the Rhyl centre-half, play even- tually commencing at 3.52 p.m. The visitors won the toss, and kicked towards the school goal. Conway were the first to get into their stride, but Rhyl were assisted by a free kick for offside, and speedily transferred play to their opponents' quarters. A comer was forced on the left, but nothing came of it, and as the re- sult of a pretty passing movement by Cotton and Hughes, the visitors" goal was subjected to a prolonged siege. A number of shots were somewhat luckily charged down by the backs, who succeeded in partially clearing. The ball p was quickly returned into the goalmouth, and a shot struck the post, the ball going off at a tan, gent to the foot of Bertie Jones, who opened the scoring with a fast drive. This success came after six minutes' play, and two minutes later Frost increased the lead with a shot from close range. Rhyl continued to be dangerous, and made repeated attacks. Ellis was quite unable to cope with the wing opposed to him, Cotton and Hughes passing and re-passing in a most at- tractive manner. Conway made spasmodic at- tempts to reach Smith, but the combination of their forwards was very faulty, and Sam Parry lay continually offside. Saunders was play- ing in the centre, Atherton taking his place at inside left. At length, Craven receiving from Saunders, led the first businless-like attack on the home goal, and his centre should have been con- verted. The inside forwards, however, had run up too far, and after Atherton had recovered himself, the best he could do was to Slhoot weak- ly into Smith's hands. Encouraged by the ap- plause of their supporters, Conway persevered, and another promising run was spoilt by a fouil on Davies, the free kick availing nothing. A 1iltfe later Smith had to run out and clear, which he did easily enough, and the next item of note was a smart run and centre by Craven, who alone of the visiting forwards seemed in form. A further spell of attacks by Rhyl, and them Craven made yet another run, but Saundiers was offside when he met the ball in the goal- mouth. Both wings on the home side were very speedy, and B. Jones was showing to great ad- vantage. Hughes was penalised a few feet from the goal-line for carrying the ball, and the player who took the free kick shooting, most in- judiciously, right into the net a goal kick re- sultted. Some of the players, and a large body of spectators evinced surprise that no goal was awarded, proof that their acquaintanceship with the rules of the game was "distinctly limited, From this point until the! close of the first haM Conway were aggressive but once, whilst their defence was repeatedly hard pressed. Half- time. R'hyl, 2; Conway, o, it No one would deny that the homesters thor- oughly deserved the advantage with which they opened the second portion of the game. Indeed they were value for more goals than they actu- ally obtained, and their superiority in the second, half was still more marked, albeit they found the net but once. Play had' been, in progress but a few minutes, when Frost trapped a centre from the right, and easily beat Hughes. Shortly after a fine centre by B. Jones should also have been made use of, and at the other end a move- ment by Davies and Craven was nipped in the bud by A. Roberts. The Conway goal now had a series of wonderful escapes culminating in a corner, which was disposed of after a struggle. The respective centre-halves. Carter and Owen, were both untiring in attack and defence, the former earning special notice by reason of his clever head work. The visitors were now penned in their own half, _and several times in quick succession found their salvation in Hughes, whose most notable saves at this point were when he turned a hard shot round the post, and running out kicked away from the foot of an on-coming forward. The crowd were not slow to mark their appreciation of his good work, and Conway having been repulsed yet once again, B. Jones beat several opponents and centred so accurately that a goal, seemed inevit- able. Fortunately for the visitors, Hughes reached the ball and threw away, a free kick for offside bringing much-needed relief. A couple of comers having been disposed of by the Rhyl defence, a number of onslaughts on the Conway goal were unsuccessful only by reason of the fact that the shooting was most erratic. Time after time the hOlmefarwards and half-backs shot over the bar when so favourably placed that scoring should have proved a comparatively easy matter. Owen dropped to full-back, R. T. Wil- liams assisting the halves, and profiting by their opponents' slackiniess, the visitors had more of e I the play, their inside forwards looking likely to score. Whilst endeavouring to trap the ball, Saunders was brought down in the penalty area, and the referee had no hesitation in awarding a penalty. Owen took the kick, but shot straight at Smith, who caught the ball, dodged a rush, and coolly kicked away. The homesters as- serted themselves, and Hughes was kept very busy, but he fisted and kicked in gallant style. N. Roberts amused himself by attempting to run right through the visitors' defence from his posi- tion at right back, and very nearly succeeded. The Rhyl players seemed content with their lead, and the further attempts they made to score were not of a very 'serious nature. A. Ro- berts kicked the ball over the stand, and it was such a long while being lecovered that the re- feree forgot which side was entitled to the throw in. The players disputed among themselves, and the linesman made no effort to prevent the Rhyl left half throwing in until appealed to by Mr Slater, when he decided in favour of Con- way. But he chanced to be the ^onway linesman, and the Rhyl supporters, seeing the humour of the situation, .shouted vociferously Rhyl ball. Eventually the referee settled the matter by throwing the ball down, which was perhaps the best solution of the difficulty. Result: Rhyl, 3 Conway, o. COMMENTS. Never at 'any period of the game did Conway appear at all likely to stave off defeat. Hughes was the best man on the side. The whole Rhyl team performed miost creditably, and won with greater ease than the score indicates.

LLANDUDNO AMATEURS v. CARNAR- VON UNITED. THE CANARIES VICTORIOUS. (BY VIGILANT. This was a match that was looked forward to with more than usual interest, as the teams have become the keenest of rivals, and there is not much between them,, when the issues are decided. What was hoped for on Saturday was that the weather should prove propitious. And it was so. A more ideal day for the game could hardly be conceived, and the result was that there was a large gate but there were not so many Can- ary supporters present as was expected. There were, however, several of the Carnarvon execu- tive present, including their chairman, Mr J. L. Harris. The teams were at full strength. Mr John Roberts, of Bangor, was the referee, and the fol- lowing were the sides — Llandudbo: Stallard, goal; J. H. Jones and Johnnie Williams, backs; W. Edwards, T. John- son, and Harold Pearson (captain), halves; W.

NORTHERN NOMADS v, DENBIGH. Denbigh's record in the Combination did not inspire confidence for their cup-tie with the Northern Nomads, and as events turned out the Welshmen were outclassed, as the score 7-1 would signify. The. game was originally fixed to be played at Denbigh, but the Manchester clulb had the match transferred to Sale. Not- withstanding the difference in the score, the play was interesting. Nomads did most of the at- tacking, especially in the opening half, but Griffiths, in the Denbigh goal, repeatedly saved well. Denbigh were the first to score, Evans beating Swann after the custodian had saved from Davies. From this point, however, Den- bigh had to defend, and before the interval Mansfield scored three times once from a pen- alty,-while Bones put through his own goal. In the second half the Nomads' superiority was most marked, and their play reached a high standard. Three goals fell to. them from Mans- field, Chapman, and Boardman, while Denbigh failed to add to their score.

THE COAST JUNIOR CUP. HOLYHEAD v. LLANDEGAI. SEALARKS' OVERWHELMING VICTORY. (BY" ROLAND.") This match oughit to' have been played at Hiolyhead Oval on Saturday week, but the heavy rain and wind rendered the event impossible. Last Saturday week the game could only have been played to the immense discomfort of the footballers themselves and in the presence of a mere handful of spectators. On Saturday, during the early hours of the morning rain w;as falling in torrents. Later, however, the heavy downpour ceased and the sun came out. At the time of the commencement the ground was in fine condition. A splendid gate turned out to witness 'this match. The referee, Mr. William Griffiths, Colwyn Bay, gave entire satisfaction. T,allas Holyhead Goalj R. Owen backs, Carlisle and Rowland Williams; halves, Llewelyn Jones, W. T. Jones, and Dick Ellis forwards, W. Sal- isbury Owen, R. C. Jones, Hugh Williams, Lewis McNeill, and J. Jones. Llandegai: J. Brown, goal; R. Mickle and Bob Roberts, backs T. Mogg, R. Griffith, G. A. Whitehead, halves; J. Griffith, J. Owen, R. Roberts, J. Griffith, R M. Jones, forwards. Holyhead played down the slope, and from the first few minutes it was evident that both sides were detsrmined to do their best. Holy- head soon, oeeame prominent, and it was not long before it was apparent-, that the Harbour. men were by far the better team. Holyhead attacked with vigour, and early in the game J. Jones sent the ball with, terrific force into the net, amidst the cheers of the spec- tators. The Llandegai team commenced to show greater determination, and struggled hard to en- deavour to zcore, but Owens,, the Holyhead goalkeeper was on the alert, and the leather was turned down the field once more. After a keen battle, Hugh Williams with a thundering kick sent the ball once more into the net for the Harboarmen. The visiting team now en- deavoured to lower their opponents' colours, and retaliating with vigour, only to be driven back by -,he home backs, who- were now playing a splendid game. It was evident the homesters meant business and were bent on carrying the game before them, and with a rush the ball was hurled along. Salisbury Owen passed the leather to McNeill, who sent the ball into the net amidst ringing applause The "Llandegai team seemed to be labouring under a great disadvantage, as they could not stand on their feet soi well as their opponents, who were of course on their own ground. The visitors, despite the terrible odds now against them, seemed to, warm up, and made a plucky run with the leather, ihey were just on the point of scoring when the ball unfortunately ior them shot to the offside of the net. Then commenced a battle royal. The homesters fought hard to carry the ball down the slope, and to a great extent: succeeded, but the visitors •nlow fouglhit with great determination, and suc- ceeded in ,sending up the hill. The effort which was a vigorous one, resulted only in a corner, much to the disappointment of the Llandegai supporters. The "Flolyheadians now put on steam; the ball was re-captured and carried along amidst the) plaudits of the crowd. Later on a desperate bombardment of the visitors'' cita- del took place, but Brown., the visitors' goal- keeper, prevented the leather from entering tne net. The ball was once more returned, and went spinning up the field, the Llandegai boys following in hot; pursuit. The homesters, how- ever, managed: to turn the course of evenits, and after a long suspense as to who was to score next, Hugh Williams sent the Dall into the net. The Doctor, Salisbury Owen, and R. C. Jones I were playing well at this juncture, when aTi)- other score was! registered. But the fates were against Llandegai, and' at half time the score Wa s Holyhead, 5; Llandegai, o. From the restart the homesters at once got to work, but were for a time stopped from scoring by Brown. Holyhead was now playing up the field, and it was natural to expect that Llan- degai would make a better show down the .slope. But the opposite was the case. They seemed to have losit heart and the Harbourmen played well up the field. The game had not been restarted long before Bob Jones scored finely. Seeing that the Llan. degai team was in for a certain defeat, in order to cheer their drooling spirits, some of the more charitable onlookers cried out Play up, Llan- rlgai." This seemed to put spirit into the visi- tors, and they began to play with desperation. With a supreme effort they managed to get away with the leather and send it into the net. On account, of «me irregularity the referee disal- lcwed the score. The homesters, who were tak- ing things cooly, commenced to show greater zeal, and they continually pressed upon their op- ponents. This completely changed the venue of play, and it was evident that Holyhead was de- ter.mined notwithstanding the fact that they were playing up the field, to scr ie as often as they had done in the. first half. Johnny Jones, with a commendable dash, passed the ball on to R. C. Jones, who scored with a huge kick. This' proved the signal for repeated cheering on the part of the crowd, who were delighted by the clever tactics of the Sealarks. An amusing inci- dent occurred when the homesters became elated with their success and one of them sent the leather out of bounds and on to the top of the neighbouring houses, to the delight of the as- sembled crowd. The ball was now taken to midfield for a considerable time, with equal chances of either side scoring. Then John Jonies, with a brilliant dash, passed the ball on to R. C. Jones, and up the field it went, Jones of the Harbourmen land- ing it into the net. Then, Llandegai in great despair fought bravely, but the ball was not long in their possession before it was rushed from them, and Hugh Williams, who had sever- al times previously managed to score, sent the ball into the net for the ninth time. Still Llan- degai played a gallant game and did their level best to score, but without any results, although (Continued on page 9.)

Jones, goal; Evan Hughes and Albert Griffiths, backs; Johnnie Griffiths, M. Herbert, and J. Williams, halves; R. H. I Roberts, T. Roberts, Walter Jones, H. Roberts, and Johnnie Jones, forwards. I must confess that the game, as a game, was one of the most disappointing cup-ties I have seen for a long while. And I think this opinion will be endorsed by the crowd. I came to see a rattling good cup-tie. Instead of that, it was a most disappointing exhibition. There was lack of vim about the event. The play was not muich above mediocre. There was a lack of those pleasing movements that are so agreeable to the eye. There was hardly any combination on either side, and only on very rare occasions were there any pretty touches at all. And the game developed towards the close into- rough- ness, which at once detracted from its interest. And I think that the feeling that was shown amongst the players was most regrettable and Mr Roberts might have been a little more string- ent when the bad feeling showed1 itself. There is nothing like nipping an unwelcome feature of a game in the bud!. If it is allowed to develop, advantage is taken of it, and thereby hangs a tale. There were signs of temper at one part of the field, whilst Mr Roberts was admonishing at another. I do not wish to enter into the merits or demerits of the cause of Johnnie Williams being turned off the field but I must say it was a novel sight to see hiimi sent off. Of course Mr Roberts will have his explanation for the proper quarter, and I regret sincerely that other players lost their temper, which damped the interest in the game. And upon this point, for the nonce, Nuff sed." Carnarvon were a stronger team physically than Llandudno, and in addition to, physique, played a desperately determined game. There was a deal of playing the man instead of the ball in the match. Carnarvon did not evidently enter the arena with the idea of losing. They had memories of a previous victory, and were going, if possible, to repeat it. And they did so, with double the quantity of goals. The goals, too, were not of the brilliant character. In the first half there was no score. And a more listless style of ouip-tie form in this moiety one could hardly see. The outstanding feature of this half was the persistent and tricky runs of Johnnie Jones, who always was dangerous when he got moving. It was from that quarter that the greater danger came for Stallard. Llandud- no did not seem1 to be able to get a-going. They were, of course, met by a very determined de- fence, and this was the secret of Carnarvon's success. Neither of the goalkeepers! had a decent shot to deal with in the first half, and the ball was miserably often out of play. At times a back would kick the ball miles over the touch line, when, a tip would be quite sufficient. One sparkling movement was seen between W. A. Williams and Brookes-Evans. A Canary was between them, and W. A. passed neatly to Brookes, who sent towards goal, for W. A. to again receive. It was done in a trice, and much admired by the Llandudno spectators; but the Carnarvon defence prevented any mischief to the Yellow Ones' side. Walter Jones had a good shie at goal at the other end and the play was ol a give-and-take order. Bob Davies tried his luck with a very fine attempt that missed only by inches. Johnson was conspicuous far some good work, feeding judiciously, but hardly worrying, as did! his predecessor, his opponents. Evan Hughes seemed partial to kickin," out when not quite necessary. Llandudno obtained the first corner, which was well taken, Johnson heading over the bar. W. A. Williams was nlaying one of his curl- ing moves, when hands against Carnarvon spoilt a good movement of Llandudno. The Canaries were having rather the best of the game, when so hard pressed was the nimble W. Edwaifls that he had to concede a corner. Nothing came of that, and the next thing of importance was a lovely shot from the foot of Brookes-Evans, which G. H. Jones cleverly saved. Llandudno improved a bit, and R. Davies again tried a shot that was negotiated, and later Jack Brown was ruthlessly grassed when sailing for goal. IN othinig ensued from the penalising for Llan- dudno, and at the other end R. H. Roberts swung a beautiful ball across the goalmouth, when Johnny Jones met and made a good at- tempt to defeat Stallard. And a moment or two later R. H. Roberts, tried his luck with a fine shot that was just wide. Half-time arrived with; Llandudno, o; Carnarvon, o. In less than a minute after resuming, Walter Jones shot well into Stallard's hands. The Can- aries went off again with a bang, and pressed awhile. However,Harold changed operations, and working on the left, he volleyed a terrific grounder that G. H. Jones managed to scoop out, and in a few moments Stallard had to ru.. out to save. Evan Hughes was cautioned by the referee for his foul tactics with little Jimmy Williams, and it must be said that the manner in which the big player used his weight against the wee and inoffensive one wais anything but sportsmanlike. A. Griffiths, on the other hand, was playing a manly game. R. Davies was next prominenit, in sending a flashing shot right across the goalmouth, and which G. H. TOInes cleverly .steered round the corner of the post at the expense of a cornier. The corner was Wof:" taken, and coming to the foot of W. Edwards, that player lifted a beautiful sihot over the heads of the players, and G. H. Jones put it over the bar. This corner was cleared by the Yellow Ones. Coming down to the other end, the Canaries held the advantage, and Johnny Jones, who was playing a great game, sent across the goalmouth, and Twm Bach yr Offis met and netted. There was a cheer from the Carnarvon contingent of spectators; but what the crowd in general re- quired was the equaliser, so as to show the lung power of the Llandudno supporters. But it never came. There were glowing prospects of this when Llandudno were awarded a penalty, and G. H. Jones saved a shot that was sent by John Henry right close to the custodian. Llan- dudno pressed severely for some time after this as though trying to make amends for the mis- fortune, but find the net they could not. R. Davies again tried to draw blood, and Brookes- Evans, after some tricky moves, gave W. A. W. a good opening, but the little winger, to the disappointment of the crowd, shot the moon Llandudno' got two corners, but to no avail, and the Canaries, getting down to the other end, in- creased their lead per Walter Jones. Soon after this the game developed into roughness, signs of which were often seen, and it culminated in Johnnie Williams being sent off the field, and more disagreements being prevalent, people were glad when the close was reached. Final: Carnarvon, 2; Llandudno, o.
