I Welsh Amateur Cup I Preliminary Round (Replayed Tie). LLANRWST v. COLWYN BAY. VICTORY FOR LLANRWST. The game at Colwyn Bay on the previous Saturday having resulted in a draw, the above teams arranged to meet for the replay at Llan- rwst on Saturday last. The ground, though on the soft side from the rain of the previous days, was in good condition, while the weather was ideal for football. A large number of spectators, many of whom had travelled from the seaside town lined the ropes. Llanrwst were represent- ed by the same team as at the Bay, with the exception of W. Owen who appeared in place of Humphrey Roberts. On the Colwyn Ray side one or two changes had been made, Tucker com- ing into the eleven. In addition to this some re-arrangement had been made in the places occupied by the players. Shortly after the advertised time, Referee Vin- cent lined the elevens up in the following order: -Llanrwst: R. Jones; W. Owen and W. Trevor Jones A. Carter, R. D. Richards and France Williams; Howell Roberts, W. T. Jones, W. A. Williams, A. Richards and D. R. Jones. Colwyn Bay: D. Roberts; T. McCann and O. E. Williams Edward Griffiths, Stanley Hughes and R. Rowlands; W. Southern, E. Tucker, E. P. Phillips, Howell Pritchard and G P. Hughes. Colwyn Bay, having won the toss, elected to defend the town end of the field, and the home pivot kicked off as a result of which, the ball was run up the field, but went into touch. Following a free kick against the visitors, the home forwards again worked their way up, but the ball was cleared and a rush down to the other end was nullified by an infringement of the offside rule. Following some mid-field play, the ball was passed to the home outside left, who shot just outside the post. A movement was now initiated by W. T. Jones who passed to Howell Roberts and he, taking steady aim, beat the visitors' goalkeeper twelve minutes after the start amidst cheers. A run on the right wing was cleverly intercepted by France Williams, who cleared his lines with such skill, that play was transferred to the other end where the visit- ing defenders had the. better of the argument. The centre half of the Colwyn Bay eleven now tried a long shot which sailed just to the right of the post. A movement by A. Richards and D. R. Jones ensued shortly afterwards, as a result of which the latter hit the crossbar with a splendid shot. Nothing came of it, however, for despite strong efforts by W. T. Jones and Wil- liams on the one side, and Ic. Cann and O. E. Williams on the other, the ball eventually went out of play. Colwvn Bay by Southern and Phillips now transferred the plav to the other end, but Richards cleared skilfully, and a second movement by the same players was brought to naught owing to offside. The home forwards now combined very cleverly, and the outcome was a shot by Howell Roberts which the goal- keeper cleared. Carter and WT. Owen frustrated in a very able manner, an attack by Pritchard and Hughes. R. D. Richards dribbled the ball up the field and passing to D. R. Jones, the latter beat McCann and sent in a stinging shot which just failed by inches. Play was trans- ferred to the other end, where W. Trevor Jones cleared, but the ball was returned and a shot was put in which Jones cleverly saved. Some ten minutes before the interval a penalty was awarded Colwyn Bay for handling the ball by Williams. This was taken by Stanley Hughes, who, however, shot wide' of the mark. A free kick for the home side was well placed by Trevor, who sent to Howell Roberts he in turn passed to W. A. Williams, who sent in a good shot which, however, just passed on the wrong side of the post. The interval was shortly after- wards called with the score at 1-0 in favour of Llanrwst. The movements in the opening stages of the second half were very even, and the ball was transferred from end to end time after time. The backs at this period were very safe, and some of the clcarances by Trevor and W. Owen were much applauded. A quick run up by Pritchard and Hughes was initiated, and Carter running at top speed caught them up before they had an oppOITtunity of placing the ball in the centre. The home forwards, keen on augment- ing the score, now played at a great pace, and on one occasion the ball was placed in the net by W. T. Jones. Previous to it landing there, however, the whistle had gone for offside against the home pivot. A good shot by Howell Roberts from a pass by Carter deserved a better fate. For some minutes the visiting forwards attacked with great vigour, and it was owing to the sterling play of the home halves and backs that they were unable to notch a point. A corner awarded Llanrwst resulted in a great tussle between the home left wing and the visiting backs, but eventually the ball passed outside. Another splendid attack was made by Arthur Richards, but Griffiths was able to place the ball out of play. Shortly afterwards Colwyn Bay were given a corner-the first one for them in the game-,and although well placed the forwards were unable to reach it and it passed over the line. Interesting as the play had been, it was now taken up with still greater vigour, and both sets of forwards redoubled their efforts. Trevor Jones and W. Owen on the home side repeatedly cleared their lines, and on the other side the home forwards found their match in McCann and Williams. A short stoppage, owing to an injury to Phillips, who had played a most useful game ensued. The stoppage, however, was brief and he resumed play amidst cheers. A corner for the Bay was well placed by Griffiths, and a tussle ensued in the goal mouth this, however, was splendidly cleared by Carter who set the home forwards in motion. A free kick given the Bay from the half way line was allowed to pass behind. F. Williams made a rush down the left, but his final effort was cleared, while a movement of Pritchard and Hughes on the left was cleared in masterful way by W. Owen. Three minutes from time, a com- bined run of the visitors left vring was cleverly intercepted by Carter and good shot by R. D. Richards passed just over the bar. For the re- maining two minutes, the visitors strove every muscle to get the point which would enable them to fight another day, but nothing resulted and the whistle sounded with the score at I-a in fa\our of Llanrwst, who now pass on to the first round proper of the Welsh Amateur Cup

COAST JUNIOR CUP (Replayed Tie). BETTWS-Y-COED v. LLANDUDNO JUNCTION RESERVES. (BY IMGO »'). These two clubs having failed to decide the issue at the Junction, on the previou Saturday, in the first round of the Junior Cup, again met on the Royal Oak Park, Bettwsycoed, on Satur- day, before a fair gate, and in charge of Referee Morris, Blaenau Festiniog. The teams Jined up as follows:—Bettwsycoed: Tom Davies; Alun Williams and W. Ellis Jim Owens, Salisbury Roberts and Joe Thomas Willie Jones, R. Owen, Gethir. Davics, W. S. Gillett and Stephen Hughes. Llandudno Junction: Harry Cordery; G. Williams and A. Dutton Hughie Hughes, Hugh Parry and W. M. Jones Tom Craven, Dan Prichard, Owen R. Williams, D. Hughes and Davey Parry. From the kick off, the visitors at once opened out the game, Hugh Parry getting well up the Bettws half, his final effort going wide. The homesters replied with a hot attack on the Junction goal, Jim Owen sending across a I timely pass, which Gethin Davies placed safely into the net. This was a couple of minutes from the start. 'The notching ot this point brought out the best efforts of the visitors, and the .game immediately developed into a real cup-tie. A noticeable weakness was the wild kicking of the visitors' forwards, when in a good position, hostilities continued of an even nature, both ends being visited in extra quick time, Cordery clearng a hot shot from Gethin Davies, whilst the home custodian ran out to save his charge, A break away by Tommy Craven and Dan Prichard, saw excitement at the home goal, the ball rolling just wide of the mark. Stephen Hughes and Owen had similar luck at the other end, and Davy Parry on the return journey sent in a shot which deserved better luck The home side were now playing a good game, and a series of charges followed on the visitors de- fence. G. William and Hugh Parry working hard to keep out the invaders. O. R. Williams made a splendid run down the field as a result of which, the Junction equalised,. The game continued to be contested in cup-tie fashion, and Gethin Davies from a good pass by Willie Jones scored No. 2 for Bettws, thus placing his side once more ahead. A minute later, how- ever, the visitors were awarded a penalty from which the equalising goal was again scored. A prominent lun by Stephen Hughes, the length of the field, failed to gain the lead, whilst Davy Parry missed a good chance off Craven. David Hughes was the next to try his luck, followed by a long shot by Hugh Parry, which the home custodian tipped over the bar. Half time arrived with the score Bettws 2 Junction, 2. With the advantage of the slope much was ex- pected from the home -ide, but the visitors at once showed determination, and Craven forced a corner, which was successfully cleared. A second corner followed with similar results, the home side making no effort at attack and were simply content with defending, and Salisbury Roberts was particularly conspicious in his clcarances. A continuance of the pressure by the Junctionites, resulted in Craven netting the third point. From the goal kick Willie Jones and Owen tested Cordery, and an onslaught followed ending in a corner for Bettws, this was safely cleared, and the visitors by the aid of Craven and Prichard ran up the field and trans- ferring at the right moment, David Hughes notched the fourth goal. A penalty was award ed Bettws, but Stepleii Hughes failed to beat Cordery Just before the call of time, Davy Parry registered the fifth goal, the whistle sounded with the score Llandudno Junction, 5 Bettwsycoed, 2. NOTES. The game was particularly clean, and well contested, there were few fouls, what there were Refaree Morris soon spotted, and dealt with them accordingly. For Bettws, Tom Davies saved his charge well, but it would be better for him if he used his hands and not his feet, when hard pressed. A miss-kick on one or two occasions put his goal in a perilous position. Otherwise he is exceedingly smart, although Alun Williams played a good game, Ellis was the soundest defender, the half line was a treat in the first portion of the game, especially fine was Salisbury Roberts, and until he met with an accident in the second half, which made him little more than a passenger the visitors could not penetrate the defence. Jim Owen and Joe Thomas gave excellent support. The pick of the forwards were Willie Jones and Gethin Davies and Stephen Hughes and had they attacked as fierce in the second half as they did during the first part, I question if the result would not have been reverse to what it now stands. For the Junction, Cordery was a safe custod- ian, and what he let through would have been difficult for anyone to stop. Of the backs G. Wil- liams was the best, his clearances being well timed and cl!an. In the half line Hughie Hughes and Hugh Parry did all the work, the centre man being particularly busy Jouca had neither speed or judgment in feeding, and failed entirely. The forward- were pretty to watch, Craven and Prichard showing pretty footwork. The left wing was also good, but not as brilliant as the right. Parry as a pivot was in good form. A little dash in front of goal would be an improvement.

COAST SENIOR LEAGUE. CARNARVON UNITED v. BLAENAU FESTINIOG. THE FLAMINGOS ROUTED. (ny NKRQns.") The above rnat<h was played at the Oval, Carnarvon, on Saturday, in idea1 weather, and a fair crowd turned up to see the game. For the homesters, Johnny Jones was unab12 to turn out, and his place was taken by W. LLnd. Prompt to time, the teams, under the charge of Mr. E. Lloyd Williams, Bangor, lined up as follows :—Carnarvon G. H. Jones Hugh Jones and R. Morton Williams Willie Hughes, M. R. Herbert and E. R. Jones R. H. Roberts, E. Hughes, Walter Jones, Tom Roberts and W. Land. Festiniog Bob Smith T. Hughes and R. Powell; R. Jones, M. Roberts and W. H. Williams O- Roberts, J. Hughes, W. J. Hughes, Collins and W. R. Owen. Carnarvon won the toss, and decided to play towards the country goal. Hughes kicked off for Festiniog, and the ball was brought to the vicinity of the Carnarvon goal, where they forced a corner which was cleared by W. Hughes. From the goal kick, the local forwards made tracks for Smith, but loose work by R. H. Roberts spoilt what promised to be an interest- ing movement, and the ball was swung out to the Festiniog left wing. Festiniog, at this stage, were making their presence felt and some anxiety was caused to the home spectators owing to Hugh Jones miskicking, but G. H. Jones cleared. The Carnarvon forwards asserted themselves, but Evan Hughes sent wide, as also did Land in the next moment. Neat passing by the home quintet asrain saw the ball in the visitors territory, and Land distinguished him- self by missing an open goal. He, however, made amends later by sending across a beautiful centre which Walter Jones had no difficulty in converting with an oblique shot. Stimulated by this success, the locals were soon hovering about Smith, and forced corners in quick succession. Th ese, however, proved of no advantage, and Owen Roberts receiving the ball, endeavoured to make headway but was pulled up by Hugh Jones. The Festiniog goal was next subjected to a fierce attack, and was only relieved through Herbert shooting wide over the bar. The Festiniog right wing raced awav and the down- fall ot the Carnarvon goal was only averted in the nick of time by Hugh Jones heading the ball away, G. II. Jones having previously left his I charge to clear. Some neat work by R. H. Ro berts in midfield was nullified through bad passing on his part. Carnarvon were now hav- ing matters all their own way and they penned the visitors in their own quarters Evan Hughes, on the right wing, raced away but his final effort was checked. From now until half time, the ball was continually in the Festiniog

COAST JUNIOR LEAGUE. BANGOR THIRDS v. HOLYHEAD RESERVES. ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR THE MOULTING HOMERS! (By" JACK HOGAX.") It is well to have a third string to one's bow, and it is desirable that a good tune be played upon it. The Bangor third string as the young Homers are called, are not a brilliant success. They cannot well emerge from the realms of mediocrity. I do not know why. One would have thought that the hwyl which permeats the other Bangor organisations would have to some extent reached the third string. But it has not. The spectators at Bangor on Saturday week saw a rather sorry exhibition when they allowed the young Holyhead Sealarks in the Junior Cup to knock spots off them. Some said this was a day off for the young Homers, and the retort courteous would be given the young Sealarks on Saturday when a League match was played. But another defeat was ad- ministered to them. Third String matches will not be a financial success unless something like merit is shown. I do not want to see the Thirds extinguish themselves by wretched work. Rather would I see a bad beginning make a good end. So let us have a win, boys, to cheer us on our way in the Mecca of North Wales football. THE TEAMS. There was a moderate gate to see the event, and the following were the teams — Bangor Tynan Hughie J. Davies and Will Parry; Fred Dargie, Aaron Jones and John Owen Walker, Ivor Thomas, H. R. Lewis, Roger Lewis, and Smith. Holyhead Reserves Newton Williams J. A. Evans and R. Lewis Owen Williams, T. Hvam and R. J. Jones H. Brown, J. Jones, H. Wil- liams, Thompson Rees, and Wm. Brown. Referee, Mr. Welch, Crewe. The game w -,s not worthy of much space, and can be given in essence. H. R. Lewis scored early for Bangor, and Johnny Jones a little while after equalised with a crashing shot. Tynan looked pulverised. Half time Bangor, i Holyhead, 1. THE SEALARKS' TWO POINTS SAFE! Holyhead beca n-c masters of the situation practically in the final half. Hugh Williams scored the Sealarks' second goal, and Hugh Brown the third. 'Nuff sed! Final: Holyhead, 3; Bangor, 1.

COLWYN BAY CELTS v. LLANDUDNO RESERVES. THE CELTS WIN. The Celts played on their own ground on Saturday, and beat Llandudno Reserves by one goal to nil, Parry doing the trick. Frank Ro- berts was hurt during the game, and had to re- tire. The following were the tearrs:- Colwyn Bay Celts D. Ll. Jones Ted Parry and Evan R. Jones John Hughes, Llew. Ro- berts (capt.), and W. T. Hoskins; E. Alford, Thomas Parry, Ted Lunt, E. J. Davies, and R. Jones. Llandudno Reseive R. Lunt; R. C. Williams and D. H. Davies H. Davies, R. Roberts and W. Owen W. Shipley, W. S. Owen, J. Yates, F. Roberts, and J. Meredith. The Celts are to be congratulated upon turn- ing the tables upon their strong rivals, who beat the Bayites in a cup-tie by 7-0. May the Celts show better form as on Saturday in future matches.

LLECHID SWIFTS v. GLASINFRYN SWIFTS. THE OGWEN VALLEY DERBY DAY; (BY "VIGILANT.") It was my first vasit to Bethesda on Saturday. The doings of the keen rivals, Llechid and Glas- infryn, in the lovely Ogwen Valley, stimulated my desire to see them on what was known as Llechid fair-day, and the first meeting, this season, of these young and clever combinations. The day was charming. Brilliant sunshine showed the multi-coloured autumn lines upon the fading 'eaves to perfection. The ride from Bangor to Bethesda is one of ever-varying Deauty. Magestic hill tower boldly end encircle the valley, and the beautiful meadows and rippling streams made the heart of everyone glad. All that was needed to make the scene perfect was the song of birds to dissipate the idea that it was a football match one went to se?, and that it was not real summer. I was delighted with Bethesda—clean and orderly, and the faces of the workmen showed traces of honest toil in the massive slate kingdom owned by Lo/d Penrhyn. Football in this valley is in the ascendancy. It is the theme discussed by almost everyone. The quality of the players has commanded admiration, and the progress made by both sides has engendered the spirit of the keenest rivalry. But a couple ol miles separate the two teams, and yet the spirit of "A Roland for an Oliver is immense. The town was all agog to witness the encounter, and it was pay day at the quarries. The struggle at Coetmor Park was one that brought out the Celtic impetuousness to conceit pitch. Feelings of rivalrv were rampant. The blue favours of Llechid were prominent, and there was a hub- bub of continued pent-up zeal that now and anon burst forth in truly stentorian manner. It was evident by the demonstration that Llechid's favourites were preponderating in numbers. The gate was a record, and cheered the hearts of the LIechid management to a great degree. Bravo Llanllechid THE TEAMS. The following were the teams: -Llanllechid: R. A. Griffiths; W. Jones and E. Owen; R. W Thomas, T. Owen and T. Jones; T. L. Roberts, G. Williams, T. Donaldson, W. T. Jones and W. Donaldson. Glasinfryn: Tom Davie6; Nickle and J. Pierce; G. Williams, C. Pirise and Davies; Sanders, Hugh Edwards, David Pierce, R. Thomas and W. Thomas. < < THE GAME. The game was not as good a one as I had ex- pected Feeling was too high, and anxiety to score first spoilt the play to a great extent. All the same, there was no lagging in movement. There was plenty of vigour on the part of Llechid, who went in for the heavy forceful play. Glasinfryn, who have an opposite method to that were not allowed to develop their style, and any movements which were pleasing to behold in the passing were nipped soon after they were inaugurated. Tall kicking, skying the ball, and putting it out of play became at times irritating. Some temper and semi-sulphurous language was used, which Mr. R. D. Richards at once spotted, and in an instant stamped the conduct with is vetoing power. In fact, Mr. Richards had his hands full, and he expected it i would be so. His reiereemg was a model of firmness and fairness, and as the game grew on there were many remarks of admiration for his controlling po.ver from the spectators. LLECHID SCORE FROM A PENALTY. Llechid forced the pace and obtained a penalty. W. T. Jones took it and shot straight for Tom Davies, who met the ball by falling sideways but the ball just curled into the corner. Great jubilation followed this feat, and the game became increasingly lively, although thieve was little science n the methods. Glasinfryn pressed awhile, and David Pierce managed to equalise with a clinking shot from the right. Glasin- fryn's time for cheering had come, and the cheers were hearty, but not so vigorous or loud as those of Llechid. Half time arrived with the score: Llechid, i Glasinfryn, 1. LLECHID GAIN THE LEAD. The game was not very old until Llechid I gained the lead. W. T. Jones did the trick again in splendid manner. Mighty shouts vent the air, and ere long that little clapper of Glas- infryn, W. Thomas, by a deft touch of the left foot, drew level again for his side, and the sight of his colleagues congratulting him with hand- shakes was a sight for the gods. Then away went the sides for the rubber. Who was to <*et it? W. T. JONES' DOES THE HAT TRICK! Some glimpses of Glasinfryn's best style of passing were seen, but they were short lived. And soon a tremendous shout rent the air for W. T. Jones had accomplished the hat trick. This nonplussed Glasinfryn. As nothing suc- ceeds like success. Llechid forced the game with such vigour that W. T. Jones added a fourth— all the goals being netted from his foot. And so amidst intense excitement Llechid ran out winners of ar. interesting, if not very scientific game. Final: Llechid, 4; Glasinfryn, 2. Continued on Page 4.

goal mouth, but Smith was equal to all the demands made upon him, and the whistle sounded with the score:- Carnarvon, i Festiniog, o. PILING ON THE AGONY On restarting, the home lot were soon in evi- dence and Bob Smith was early called upon to save from R. H. Roberts, which he effected in grand style The final efforts of the Carnarvon forwards at this point, were very weak and several chances were lost. The Festiniog right wing made tracks for the Carnarvon goal and R. Morton Williams was forced to concede a corner. This was feebly placed and the ball was sent out to the Carnarvon right wing. Smith was tested with a shot which he cleared in fine form, and the ball being sent to the Carnarvon right full, this player smartly returned with a well judged shot which entered the far corner of the net. From the kick off, Collins tested the Carnarvon goalie, but .s the shot lacked sting, it was easily cleared. R. H. Roberts next rac away and centred in fine style, Land re- ceiving and crashing the leather in for the third time. The game was now most one-sided, the Festiniog defence being severely tested, and it was not long before E. Hughes obliged with a further goal. This was shortly afterwards suc- ceeded by one from the head of Tom Roberts, and immediately afte- the final whistle sounded, the result being:- Carnarvon, 5: Festiniog, o. NOTES. From a spectator's point of view, the game was uninteresting and devoid of any great in- cidents. On the day's play, the winners were fully five goals ahead of their opponents, and had the forwards utilised all their chances, the score would have been much heavier. The Carnarvon defence easily accounted for the de- mands made upon them Hugh Jones, ir parti- cular, playing a sterling game. The halves also played a good game. On the forward line, one much prefers to see R. H. Roberts on the extreme right, with Evan Hughes inside, and had this arrangement been adhered to, the line would have worked much better. Land, on the extreme left, put in some nice shots and centred well. As regards the losers, we understand that they were not at tull strength. Smith, in goal, could not in any way be blamed for the score as he brought off sev-ral good saves. The backs and halves were fair bat were inclined, at times, to be very ,bll-.v. Tht forwards rarely were dangerous, and were easily accounted for by the Carnarvon defence.
