HOLYWELL ROVERS.—A match was played between these clubs on Easter Monday afternoon, on a field at Ffordd-fer, which attracted more than ordinary interest. The match was arranged for the purpose of devoting the gate- money. after defraying the expenses, to the funds of the Flintshire Dispensary, and judging by the number of tickets sold and the receipts at the field, the persons who organized the match will be able to hand over a tolerably good surplus to the funds of the useful institution. The receipts would, doubtless have been much greater had the elements been more favorable for out-door exercise, a bitterly cold wind prevailing and occasional showers of rain falling whilst the game was proceeding. The Wanderers won the toss, and posted themselves at the town goal, and for the first few minutes they appeared as though they would give the Rovers some difficulty in keeping their ground free from invasion. The Rovers, however, played well together, and before half-time was called they had lowered the Wanderer's colours, and scored one goal to their favor. Change of ends did not improve the fortunes of the Wanderers, who had almost all along to play on the defensive against the plucky assaults of the Rovers, who added two more goals to their credit before the match ended. The Wanderers played under considerable disadvantage from want of practice, and also from the fact that some of their best players—former members of the Holywell Club-failed to appear, and their places had to be hurriedly filled up. The match ended by three goals to nil for the Rovers. The teams W3re Cambrian Wanderers: --Goal, T. Hughes backs, H. Askew and D. J. Thomas, Bagillt; half-backs, David Williams (captain), J. Eachus and H. F. Jones; forwards, W. E. Jones, George Evans, A. Caradoc Williams and J. H. Jones, Greenfield; centre forward, G. D. Edwards, Everton umpire, T. C. Griffiths. Holywell Rovers-goal, R. Jones backs, W. R. Kenyon and W. Jones; half-backs, G. Hughes, A. Ellis and E. Williams; forwards, W. J. Evans, E. Jones (captain), W. F. Bramwell and Robert Jones centre forward, W. T. Charlton; umpire, J. W. Hughes. Referee, Mr. J. J. Williams. During the afternoon the Battalion Band of the Flintshire and Carnarvonshire Rifle Volunteers (under the leadership of Bandmaster Edw. Jones), played a selection of music on the ground, having generously given their services gratis. — —
