COAST SENIOR CUP- (SECOND ROUND.) CARNARVON UNITED v. BANGOR RESERVES. THE CUP-HOLDERS OUTCLASSED. FINE VICTOIRY OF THE HOMERIS. (BY VIGILANT.") I journeyed to Canary-land on Saturday in the hopes of seeing a good encounter. It is some time since I was in the dominions of the Yelkw Ones. And what memories the Oval revived when I got there. I was surprised at the lack of enthusiasm which I fully expected. It might have been a Second Division match for all the evidences there were that we were going to see the old rivals, Caxnarvon, and Bangor engage in a Coast Senior cup-tie. When the draw favoured the holders with choice of ground, there were but few that would- deny the 'holders' chances of retaining the cup in this round at least. But the great uncertain/ty in football, as in horset racing—although, I have no sympathy with horsey men,—also serves up surprises, and it is well that it should be so. It is the un- certainty which gives a zest to a good game, for the unexpected sometimes happens. And from a Canary standpoint the unexpected happened with a vengeance. The cup of bitterness, to Carnarvon was full. Shades of last season's successes. How the mighty have fallen! To be knocked out of the first asking on one's own ground by a terrible reverse needs much ex- plaining, and we shall no more this season' see the Sealarks, of Holyhead, the Gulls of Colwyn Bay, or the Flamingos of Festiniog shining- in further encounters. The Penguins of Pwllheli, the Cormorants of Llandudno, the Conway Jack- daws, and the Bangor Homers are the birds which will have to flutter for the cup which is ,to leave Canary-land. Of course, there will be two other teams from the, East of the Coast to be added to the encounter, and I opine we sihiall have some spirit infused into- the next contests. BANGOR'S SUPERIORITY EARLY SHOWN. There seemed to be a depressed feeling amongst the Carnarvon people, because Albert Griffiths, the Canary captain, and Hughie Ro- berts were unable to nlay owing to. illness. Both were on the ground, the former amusing himself with a jester-like bell, which seemed to afford him amusement, whilst it annoyed others. One could hardly see the game for the ting-ting, and wisdom prevailed in the Albertian breast, and he put the childish thing away. I was also particularly struck with a spectator who wore a new straw hat and black and white check pants as though we were in genial June, instead of the last lapse of murky November. And this in- dividual attracted the attention of quick-beared Mr AM. Slater, by using some sulphorous lan- guage, which was quenched by the smartness of the referee. The gate was not near the size I expected. The enthusiasm of the Canaries was damped, The play of the Citizens surprised the Canaries, and what Carnarvon expected never came. There were a fair number of Homers' supporters on the Oval ,and I was surprised to see that the skele- ton of a stand, which used to be there, has dis- appeared, and poor En. Avant," an erstwhile Oval hero-, and Recorder had to be seated at a rickety construction for quill-driving, and I extended to them my sympathy. Why does not the Carnarvon executive shell out a bit and consider the Press better. The Press has done a lot for the Canaries, and helped to make that good exchequer they have. So, please, Canary Exieoutive, consider the Knights of the Pen a little more. You can well afford it, I am sure. The following were the teams — Carnarvon: G. H. Jones, goal: Evan Hughes and; E. R. Jones, hacks; Johnny Griffiths, Mick Herbert, and J. Williams, halves; R. H. Ro- berts, T. Roberts, Walter Jones, R. Trevor Ro- berts, and John Jones, forwards. Bangor Reserves: Ted Owen, goal; D. J. Thomas and Ireland, backs Arthur Owen, H. J. Davies, and D. T. Davies, halves; Rowlands, Charlie Burns, Hughie Owen, Ivor Thomas, and Edgar Lloyd Jones, forwards. Referee: Mr Alf. Clevere Slater, Llandudno. Carnarvon won the toss ,and played down the slope. The opening exchanges were tame and lacked a cup-tie bang about them. Tom Ro- berts indulged in some of that cool work which is unworthy of an attempt to, retain a, cup. It is alright at times. However, G. H. Jones had to come out of his charge to stem the intentions of the Homers, who, in contradistinction to Car- narvon, played with a good purpose. The Ban- gor left wing was dong well, and Edgar Jones forced! a corner off Mick Herbert, which was ultimately placed behind. The Canaries were very lackadaisical in their methods, and did no- thing to enthuse their supporters. Hands against J. H. Davies gave, the Canaries some advantage, and there were some good exchanges of rather a wild description.. Bangor showed superiority in attack and a good understanding in the tront rank. The Citizens played hard and put the de- fence Off their opponents on their mettle. A fine spruce movement by the Homers was nullified by the offside rule. Two successive fouls against the Canaries found the Homers in the Canaries' goal, and a beautiful run. on the Bangor left was again spoilt by the offside rule, and Rowlands, later, fell when in a good position, but re- covered, and sent the ball into the centre, and G. H. Jones saved at the foot of the post. Keeping up the pressure, the liangorians were awarded a free kick, and so nicely did Arthur Owen place it, that Ivor Thomas got his cran- ium to it and headed it into the corneir of the net. Carnarvon did not relish this reverse, and tried to make amends for it, and Walter Jones bucked up a bit, and flew down the centre, only to find the cat-like Ted Owen awaiting his efforls. Ted fell, and hugged the ball, and was surrounded by wolf-like opponents. The re- feree gave a foul, and relief to Bangor came. D. J. Thomas was playimlg a fine defensive game, as were the two- Evans on the other ,side. Jack Williams tried a long shot at Ted, who clutched smartly and threw away. Carnar- von for a time were playing an improrved game, and a flashing shot across the goalmouth from the foot of R. H. Roberts went a-begging. Later the same player, from a corner placed so beau- tifully that Twm yr Offis got his head to it and just landed it over the net amidst applause. E. Ll. Jones had a splendid chance of increas- ing the lead, when J5. R. Jones dashed to him and frustrated his chance. The Canary forward line was woefully wanting in combined efforts, The spirit of individualism had seized them, and their spectators were disgusted. Twm Bach tried some fancy tricks, but they fell flat. The crowd wanted more go-ahead, dare-devil tactics, -tactics which bring goals. Any efforts, and they were rather puny, by the Canary front rank were finely checked by Ireland and Thomas, the latter in particular being specially fine, resolute, and marvellously effective. Through a miskick, Johnnie Jones had an open goal, but over- anxiety to trap the ball and steady himself saw him ruthlessly robbed by a Homer. Johnnie's feelings can well be imagined. But the fates and their bad play militated against them. Once ,the Canary forwards came down in a line, and I expected something tangible, but it came not. Carnarvon were having slightly the best of mat- ters as half-time was n-earing, but the excellent defence of Bangor kept them out. Half-time: Bangor, i Carnarvon, o. The second half opened with a regular bang on the part of Carnarvon. It looked as though there was a general wakening up on the Carnar- von side,. But alas, it was but a false alarm. The Bangorianis rose to the occasion, and beat them back, and taking up the running, were as nimble as bees. HUGHIE OWEN INCREASES BANGOR'S LEAD. From capital work by Arthur Owen, Hughie Owen beat G. H. Jones with a side-footer, com- pletely nonplussing the fine custodian. The Canaries tried in desperation to do something tangible, but they were at sea, and the shock of two goals was an eye-opener to them. This was something new for the Yellow Ones. Two goals to nil on their own ground, and they winners of the cup last season. Shades of Beaumaris, what would happen ere the game ceased? Could the Canaries atone for the reverse? Spas- modic efforts were made, where faulty passing and shots of the milk and water order were sent in. On the contrary, G. H. Jones was hav- ing a warm time of it. The dapper Bangor for- wards were playing Hamlet with the de- fence of the cup-holders. ROWLANDS RUNS THROUGH WITH No. 3. Rowlands seized an excellent opportunity 01 completely baffling and outpacing his opponents, and flying down the wing and gradually curling in, he shot at G. H. Jones, who just tidped a low shot as it curled into the net. Spectators were crestfallen, and several left the field. There was sorrow in the Carnarvon camp, and in- numerable reasons given for the failure of the Yellow Ones. All excuses were made, but one had to extract the truth from people that the Canaries had met more than their masters this day. If the spectators did not admit the fact, they must have seen that the Homers were very ,game birds—determined, methodical, and united in effort. PILING ON THE AGONY. After a bombardment of the Carnarvon goal, and a similar short attempt on the Bangor ooal, matters fell flat. On one occasion Ted Owen saved miraculously. He came out to save, and with the ball did an acrobatic feat on the ground. What a chance for the Canaries But the cat-like Ted got up and cleared splendidly. G. H. Jones, at the other end, was having shots rained at him, and one of them whizzed past him into- the net. Streams of people now left the ground, and ere long the whistle had blown for a cessation of hostilities, leaving the Can- aries thoroughly thrashed, and with Bans-or re- turning home with a well-deserved victory, and bright visions of winning the cup in the ulti- mate. Final: Bangor, 4; Carnarvon, o.

LLANDUDNO AMATEURS v. COLWYN BAY. THE AMATEURS' FINE FORM. (BY VEDETTE.") Unfortunately for the visitors, they were minus the services of three selected, players, viz., Ned Griffiths, W. H. Hopwood, and J. R. Jones, Reserves in, the persons of T. Wellings, H. C. Waterhouse, and P. Webb being called upon to fill the vacant positions. Llandudno were strongly represented. Teams — Llandudno Amateurs: C. Stallard, gcKal; J. H. Jones and W. Wynne, backs J. Brown, T. Johnson, and H. Pearson (captain), half-backs W. A. Williams, Brookes-Elvans, J. E. Williams, R. Davies, and J. Williams, forwards. Colwyn Bay C. Hallwood, goal; D. Roberts and H. P. Evans, backs; P. Webb. W. R. Ro- berts, and R. Rowlands (captain), half-backs; W. E. Roberts, W. Southern, T. Wellings, S. Hughes, and H. C. Waterhouse, forwards. Referee: Mr T. Jones, Holywell. Linesmen Mr W. J. Tones, Llandudno, alict Mr T. McCann, Colwyn Bay. AMATEURS' LEAD. The Bay won the toss, and played towards the road., The Amateurs at once attacked, but were pulled up for offside. Good combination was shown by both teams, a spirited movement be- tween Roberts and Southern threatened danger, but Johnson returned the ball well up the field. Stallard was soon tested; Hughes passed to Southern, who burst past the backs and shot in, the goalkeeper kicking clear. At the other end Hallwood saved well from a comer kick, and. as the game progressed, the Amateurs began to monopolise play. Their forwards passed well, and the halves held the visitors' front rank in check. It occasioned no surprise when the homesters opened the scoring, although the point came about in an unexpected way. The ball was placed well forward between the Bay backs, who turned and pursued it, a race ensu- ing between them and two of the opposing for- wards. (Hallwood delayed running out until the players had almost reached the ball, and al- though he secured possession of it for a moment, it was knocked out of his grasp, and Davies easily netted. There appeared to be a misun- derstanding between the goalkeeper and one of the backs, and apparently each left it to the other to clear. Immediately after this success, the Amateurs attacked hotly, Hallwood bringing off some fine saves. It seemed inevitable that Llandudno would increase their score, and shortly before the interval, a corner well placed by J. Williams was headed through by Johnson. TIaif-time: Llandudino, 2; Golwyn Bay, o. BRILLIANT GO ALKE E PING. Llandudino, 2; Golwyn Bay, o. BRILLIANT GO ALKE E PING. From the re-start the Amateurs established themselves in the visitors' quarters, and Hall- wood was kept very busy. Once he created a diversion- by saving a rush and retaining hold of the ball whilst on the ground. It was thrown down by the referee, and for a while the Bay well held their own. Soon, however, the Ama- teurs' right wing got in motion, and centred for Davies to score the tlh-ird goal. After this the visitors came near scoring. A back miskicked, and let through Waterhouse, who, rain in and shot low, but Stallard1 dropped on his knees and saved. The play of the visiting forwards was a great contrast to that of the home quintette. Wellings tried hard to set his wings in motion, but both Waterhouse and Roberts were too well looked after to be able to break away often. Hughes was suffering from a strained knee, and this injury greatly affected his play. Southern rarely passed with advantage to his side, a con- siderable amount of work being thrown upon the defence owing to the non-success of the for- wards. Pearson initiated a movement which ended in Evans scoring, the ball being headed ,well in by J. E. Williams. Hallwood1 was show- ing to much; advantage in goal, and constantly repelling difficult shots. The Day pulled them- selves together for a last effort, and after a de- termined siege of the Amateurs' rYoal, in which the forwards displayed more cleverness than at any other period of the game, the ball was accu- rately driven across by Roberts, and Stallard having left his charge, Waterhouse kicked it into an open goal. Llandudinoi netted once aga £ n, but from a palpably offside position. Result: Llandudno, 4; Colwyn Bay, i. A DISAPPOINTING TEAM. The Bay were most disappointing, the home- sters showing great superiority in the actual play. Hallwood added to his reputation as' a clever goalkeeper, and I do not agree with those who affrm that the backs let the team down. Upon Saturday's form, they are not quite up to the standard of Coast League football, but I am confident they will improve. Coming to' the half-backs, Roberts was undoubtedly the clever- est player on the side, and the one out standing success of the match. Rowlands may be always relied upon to put up a good game, and the three players named, Hallwood, Roberts, and Rowlands were the only ones on the side to dis- tinguish themselves. With anything approach- ing adequate support, Wellings would have done far better but taken generally, the forward work was unworthy of the club. The new man, Webb, was an indifferent substitute at half for Griffiths1. AMATEURS EXCELLENT. Llandudno played an admirable game. Their defence was reliable, and their attack was con- timually carving out clever movements. I de-

cline to take the responsibility of naming any one player, as thereby his colleagues might ap- pear to be slighted. Although it is true enough that the opposition in this match was of no for- midable character, the Amateurs displayed such ability that they have reason to enter upon the next round with some degree of confidence.

RHYL GRANGE v. DENBIGH TOWN. JUNIORS' PLUCKY FIGHT. (BY CLWYDIAN.") These two teams met on the Belle Viue grounds on Saturday. In the initial round, the Grange avoided the trouble of a fight, whilst Denbigh had beaten Denbigh Church Guild. Denbigh were obliged- to make several changes in their team on account of professionals being debarred from participating in this contest. The game started, under the control of Referee Wal- ter Parry, Colwyn Bay, at 3.50. Teams:- Rhyl Grange: E. Hughes, goal; Dick Birch and L. Williams, backs W. C. Jones, W. Buck- ley, and J. Jones, half-backs T. Hall, E. Orm- by, W. Pritchard, Mic Parry, and E. Hughes, forwards. Denbigh: S. Griffiths, goal; R. T. Williams and E. Hughes, backs Tommy Davies, T. A. Davies, and H. Cartwright, half-backs; D. B. Davies, H. Randies, Gallagher, H. Evans, and E. E. Davies, forwards. DENBIGH MODERATE. It will be seen that the Grange played the same team that defeated Denbigh Church Guild on the previous Saturday in the Junior Cup com- petition. Gallagher started the game for the visitors before a sprinkling of spectators, but Denbigh did not gain any advantage from the initial movements, as W. C. Jones soon checked them. Play was transferred to the other end, and very early in the game Rhyl began to show much earnestness, and gave the visiting defence some anxiety. A detemnined move on the Grange right wing, Which had bean started, very cleverly by Pritchard, was only frustrated by the timely intervention of R. T. Williams. Following this the Denbigh forwards moved towards the Rhyl goal, but their attempt was very weak, and it finished by Gallagher shooting behind. Several other promising moves were abruptly terminated through wild shooting. Up to now the Denbigh contingent had not shown any combination, whilst, on. the other hand, the Juniors were showing great energy and determination in their style of play. On several occasions they were within .an ace of scoring. Norman Pritchard and Ormby continually harassed the visiting de- fence. the firstnamep. being very conspicuous. Their efforts were very early rewarded. Owing to clever individual work by Pritchard, who, after drawing out the visiting defence, crossed the ball over to the left. HugUes was given an opportunity of shooting, but his namesake of the visiting backs infringed a rule by Jumping. Being within the penalty area, the referee awarded a penalty. Birch was appointed to take the kick, and- ma;de no mistake. This suc- cess encouraged the homesters to further effort. After Denbigh had paid a visit of a very brief duration to the home goal, the Grange were again- attacking the visitting goal, exhibiting some clever and quick work. HOMESTEiRIS LEAD. Through a very neat run by Pritchard, Ormby succeeded in placing his side further ahead. Up to now Denbigh had not performed well. After resuming, however, they .showed signs of improving: on one occasion Bearwyn- Davies was unfortunate in failing to reduce the lead, lor racing up he sent in a splendid oblique shot which hit the- bar and rebounded into play, only to be cleared by Birch. Several promising move- ments for the visitors ended through the ball going behind. Their opportunity soon came, however. E. E. Davies, passing to Evans, w/ho banged the ball into the net at the fourth at- tempt. Denbigh further pressed their oppon- ents, and H. Evans nearly converted a betauti- fully-plaoed corner kick by E. E. Davies. Half- time Rhyl, 2; Denbigh, 1. A DRAWN GAME. Rhyl had slightly the better of the opening stages of the! second half, but the tide was soon turned against them, Denbigh making frantic efforts to equalise. Indeed, it was only tnrougn over anxiety that on several occasions they failed to do so. Within fourteen minutes E. E. Davies succeeding in evading the vigilance of the home defence, and scored a clever goal. The game continuedl to be very evenly contested, and became very fast. For the last twenty minutes the game was played in semi-darkness, and it was very difficult for the spectators to follow it. Up to the last minute the- game was full of un- certainty, and either side might easily have snatched a victory. -Result: Rhyl Grange, 2; Denbigh, 2. COMMENTS. No doubt Denbigh had underestimated the strength of their opponents, and thought that their task would be an easy one. The Grange team was the same as played at Denbigh on the Saturday previous, and there was a vast improvement in their play. On Saturday they played a plucky game, and a draw was very creditable to them. 8IIIC

CONWAY v. BLAENAU FESTINIOG. THE JACKDAWS' JAW OF VICTORY. (BY" GWILYM. ') These teams met on the Conway Morfa on Saturday afternoon in the second roundi of the North Wales Amateur Cup. Expectant of win- ning their protest against Llanrwst in the previ- ous Saturday's game in the Junior Cup, the Quarryiruen chanced their luck by sending down what they termed a reserve team to Conway, and the few spectatoriSi who lined the ropes when Referee Hersee called the teams together, were treated to an afternoon's amusement more than serious football, in which a cup was at stake. The following were the teanis:- Conway: Llew Parry, goal; Bob Owen and, Now Ellis, backs W. Evans, Lewis Hugh Ro- berts, and S. Hughes. half-btacks; Tom Craven, Joe Hughes, D. O. Davies, J. R. Jones, and Sam Parry, forwards,. Festiniog: Bob Smith, goal; Will Penny and Bob Ellis, backs R. Powell, Ellis Jones, and Hugh Jones, half-backs Owen Roberts, Moses Roberts, O. Cledwyni Owen, Hiughie Williams, and W. R. Ellis, forwards. From the start, the visitors showed some nice touches, but they lacked finish. The hoime de- fence were troubled considerably by the young forward line, but each attack was successfully repelled. A fine solo run was made by D. O. Davies, who gave to the left wing, and Sam Parry placed one of has most accurate centres, which, as is often the case, went a-begging. The Qua-rrymen returned, to, the attack and looked for all the world like drawing first blood, but their shots at goal were very badly judged. An accurately directed shot would have given Llew trouble, for the visitors were playing with a steady breeze at their backs. Considerable amusement prevailed amongst the, spectators when the veteran Penny left his position, at back to keep a watchful eye on Sam Parry. This be did successfully throughout the game, by rUD- bing up against him the whole time. It was really funny to. watch him punt the ball up the field, and afterwards look round for Sam, and race for all he was worth to his side. Throughout the afternoon these two men had an interesting confab together. Sam was not allowed to stir without Penny. Conway played with dasih, and invariably got within shooting range, but here they were powerless. Art! this point, Smith, who is shorter than Llew between the sticks, gained the applause of the crowd by a feat in which he saved his charge from the five oncoming forward's. Falling on the ball, he stuck to it until he found a loop- (Continued on page 5.)
