FOOTBALL
FOOTBALL PENYGRAIG v. NEAtH. This match was played on the Neath ground in the preEence of a good gate. The previous match resulted in a draw, and a good deal of speculation took place as to the probable result of the present game, the general opinion being that it was a toss up. Dr Pegge kicked off for Neath, and immediately afterwards Llewellyn Morris took possession, nearly getting over, a minor only resulting. In less than a few minutes W. John picked up in the visitors' 25 and passed to George Trick, who romped in, scoring a splendid try. John took the place from a difficult angle, and successfully negotiated the major point. The ball having been again set in motion the home for- wards worked the oval to the visitors' 25. Evans replied by a good kick, which sent the ball back into neutral ground, Trick again bringing off a brilliant run. Penygraig, however, tried to re- turn to the home 25, when Jones, the visitors' back, received a pass and crossed the line. Lloyd took the place, but failed to convert. After this the visitors resumed the aggressive and kept the 19 play in their opponents' 25 for some time, but the home team eventually had the best of a succession of excitable tussles and removed the venue to the visitors' territory. It did not remain there long, however, some bad passing by the home team giving the visitors an opportunity of which they were not slow to avail themselves, John saving what looked like a certain try by touching down. After the kick-out the visitors again pressed, but Trick relieved by a splendid run to mid-way. The play now became very fast, Cross doing excellent work for Neath and Stoddart for the visitors, but nothing further resulted. HALF-TIJIE SORE-: PNeenayth graig 1 1 tgroya, l, 1 1 mmiinnoorr.. Upon the resumption of play Anthony picked up in neutral ground and passed to Jim Davies, who failed to get away, and the visitors worked back to Neath ground. John, putting in a good kick, sent the oval to the visitors' 25. The ball was eventually kicked over, and Penygraig had to touch down in self-defence. Play now settled down in neutral ground, and after an interchange of long kicks, Cross made a mark. John took the place, and the ball was charged down. Neath now piessed severely, and the visitors had all their work cut out to defend their line. Walter Phillips, however, broke through, and one of the visitors picking up ran down to the very verge of the Neath line, where he missed the ball and Cross saved just in the nick of time. The home team now brought off a good rush, Harry Williams being prominent. This resulted in the visitors having to concede another minor. Operations remained for a considerable time afterwards in the visitors' ground, Penygraig's visits to their opponent's ground being few and far between. Soon after this the whistle sounded, leaving the score :— Neath 1 goal, 5 minors. Penygraig 1 try, 3 minor. PENYGRAIG A v. GLOUCESTER A. Played at Penygraig, in beautiful weather, the II home team being poorly represented. Goun kicked off, and play was very even at the centre. Giles and Williams did splendid work for Peny- graig, and Gloucester had to concede a minor. Penygraig again pressed, Moyle showing good form. Gloucester now brought off a grand rush, but Watkins picked up well and returned to the visitors' 25. Gloucester dribbied to the home 25, and Stephens made a good run and nearly got in. Oranville relieved to the centre, and Moyle made a grand run and all but got over. Penygraig had all the best of the game. Click made a good run, and Penygraig had to to concede a minor. Pen- ygraig now pressed, and Bob Williams dropped a goal. HALF-TIME SCORE. Penygraig 1 goal, 1 minor. Gloucester 1 minor. After the kick-off Penygraig pressed, and Tom Lewis scored a clever try. In less than a minute Lewis scored a clever try. In less than a minute Penygraig again scored, and Tom Lewis con- verted. The Penygraig men showed themselves I all round the better team. FINAL SCORE Penygraig 2 goals, 1 try, 1 minor. Gloucester 1 try, 2 minors. I PONT YPRIDD v. MERTHYR. 8g?The representatives of these teams met at the Taff Vale Grounds on Thursday last to try con- clusions. The weather and turf were eonducive to a good game of football, and in;this respect many devotees were not disappointed, for tibe matsh was contested with much zest and vigour. Merthyr put its best team on the field. Ponty- pridd were not so successful, and had to play minus five of their forwards, two three-quarters, and their oustodian Alun Morgan. The game proceeded in right good earnest after the home- side kicked off. Scrums were frequent and on even terms. The Merthyr men in the front rank were successful now and then in changing the venue of the game, but were met each time by the home forwards. At the call of half-time Verthyr had scored 1 try, which was not converted. This looked decidedly one-sided, and gave the Merthyr boys credit. A change, however, came over the game. Fbllowing the interval Pontypridd seemed to realise their position, and rushed the scrums. Each man after this put in all he knew. Passes were given out to the homesters with quick pre- cision by the :home halves, and Gus Rowlands was able to score. This nerved the Pontypridd men to extra exertions, and before many minutes had elapsed Benny Lewis had planted the leather behind the posts, and converted a try into a goal. Passing grandly the homesters put in some rare play. G. Harry for a while looked dangerous, and all but scored from a goad run. He gave away to Christmas Jones, and the latter scored. The point was improved upon. Benny Lewis initiated some more good passing tactics and in the end G. Harry soored in a good position. Benny Lewis converted. The latter player again scored shortly afterwards. Some grand forward rushes were now witnessed by the excited spectators who lined the ropes. Pontypridd carrying all before them were proceeding down the field from their own 25 when the visitors' custodian dropped a splendid goal. Some short rushes, interpersed with seme excellent forward work, contributed to the other portion of the game before time was called :— TINAL SCORE Pontypridd 2 goals, 4 tries. Merthyr 1 goal (dropped), 1 try. PONTYPRIDD (THURSDAY) v. DOWLAI S After this first match the Pontypridd Thursday team met a Dowlais contingent, who brought with them a: good team. They were assisted also by some of the Merthyr men. In this match Pontypridd were again to the fore, and scored tries almost in an unprecedented manner. The most noticeable feature in this match was the unfoot- ball like manner in which the Pontypridd halves did their work. As a result play was of dull character, and but for the individual work put in by the forwards and some- of the backs the match would have been devoid of interest. In the ensu- ing scrums Pontypridd were in evidence, but not to such an extent as to give them a preference over their opponents, who throughout worked hard. In the lines-out and scrums which were frequent after the kick-off, the Dowlais men came through in a plucky manner, and but for the excellent tactics of the home custodian, the result would have been reversed. Up to half-time a good score was piled on for Pontypridd. The resumption of hostilities brought no relief to the visitors, who allowed their opponents to cross their line repeatedly. Haynes, a home half, lost two sure tries. FINAL SCORE: Pontypridd 3 go lis, 2 tries, 8 minors. Dowlais 1 try. T. Davies, G. Harry, Dan James, Harry Davies, Jack Haynes, and Reuben Richarde were the scorers in this match, and W. Howells converted. t

— ■———» PONTYPRIDD A v. TAFF VALE s WANDERERS (CARDIFF). The Pontypridd A team suffered defeat to the tune of 4 tries to one in this match, played on the Taff Vale Grounds, Pontypridd, on Saturday last. The Cardiff men were a very heavy lot in propor- tion to their opponents, and for this reason had matters tkeir own way in the scrimmages. In the first half the Wanderers every minute looked dangerous, and gave their opponents all they could do to remove a pressure, which lasted for some time. During this time they scored two tries. Forward work occupied the best portion of the game, and ended in favour of the visitors. Directly the ball got within the scrum, the visitors were sure to wheel and take the ball down the field with them, but when the ball happened to get out to the home three-quarters, which it did but once, the visitors were beaten completely. After half-time Pontypridd as usual rallied, and put in a little bit of work. Once the ball came out to G. Harry, who had no difficulty in scoring from Alan Morgan's pass. The major point was not gained. Scrums now followed in rapid succes- sion, each time resulting in the home men being non-plussed. The home backs had all their work out out for them to stop the rushes. At the call of time the score read Taff Vale Wanderers 4 tries. Pontypridd A ltry. PONTYPRIDD v. CARDIFF STAR. The Cardiff Stars, which team has held a good record this season, come up to meet the Ponty- pridd team on Saturday last. In the previous encounter between these two teams Pontypridd only managed to win a somewhat evenly con- tested match by one try. Looking forward to the match in this light, it was not expected by local enthusiasts that Pontypridd were going to have matters all their own way. Both teams were fully represented, and were as published. Ponty- pridd kicked off from the town end. A good return settled play in mid-territory, where a. scrum was formed. Here Pontypridd found worthy opponents in the forward line. The visitors" halves obtained and initiated a nice bit of passing which, however, was nipped nicely in the bud by Benny Lewis and Noah Morgan. Play remained even here for some time until, with a good kick, the visitors got into the home 25. Pcntypridd were now able to relieve the pressure, and Alan kicked into touch on the stand side. From here some rushes were made by the homesters up to their opponents' line, where the visitors' custod- ian relieved. Now a. visitord' wing attempted to get away, but was frustrated in his effort by G. Harry. Play from this up to half time continued to be waged on even terms up to the call of half- time with nothing scored. Pontypridd on the change of ends put in renewed vigour, and it may be said carried everything before them. First W. Williams scored, and then T. James followed soon after. Benny Lewis was also successful. The home forwards one and all now worked like demons. Scrum after scrum followed with an alternate rush. Alan Morgan relieved beautifully on several occasions, and was cbeered for his good kicking. The Pontypridd citadel was neve r once invaaea atter llalt-tlme. FINAL SCORE: Pontypridd 2 goals', 1 try, 3 minors. Cardiff Stars nil. PORTH A v. CLYDACH VALE 2ST XV. Played on the Maindy Field, Ynyshir, before a, fair number of spectators on Saturday last, and after a very stubborn game resulted in a draw. Final score :-Porth A, 1 minor; Clydach Vale, nil. TREFOREST WANDERERS v. GLYNTAFF ROVERS. These teams met on the Wanderers ground before a large number of spectators on Saturday last, and atter an exciting struggle ended in a win for the Wanderers by one goal (dropped), two tries, three minors, to two tries, one minor. PONTYPRIDD CRUSADERS v. YNYSYBWL 1st XV. The return match between these teams was played on Saturday, on the Ynvsgajharad ground Pontypridd, before a fair number of spectators. The day was fine and pleasant. The visitors won the toss, and elected to play with the wind. Idris Griffiths kicked off for the homesters. It was quickly followed up and caused some sharp scrums in the visitors 25. After a few minutes play, Tomkins, (a homester) got the ball and passed to E. Phillips, who passed to Bill," Thomas, the latter scoring amid great cheers. The place kisk was a failure. After a few scrums and good pass- ing, Lewis Morgan scored for the homesters Sol. Morgan converted. After the dropout the visitors were awarded a free kick. The ball was soon,kicked into touch in the homesters 25, The homesters gained 3 more tries, by Rees Daavies, G. Roberts and Tomkins, the latter played well. At the call of half-time the score was as fol- lows :<— Crusaders. 1 goals, 4 tries, 1 minor. Ynysybw) nil. Resuming play the visitors showed grand front' in the serums they were far before the Crusaders but were fairly outclassed in the open. During this half tries were scored by E. Phillips (2), one of which he himself converted, and Eli Joseph. (1). Joseph, Phillips and Davies, did some grand runs. T. Andrews and Bob Williams played well for the visitors. At the call of time the score was as follows: Crusaders 2 goals, 6 tries, 5 minors. Ynysybwl nit

MABON, S1.P„ ON THE LATE MR BKADLAUGH. At Monday's meeting of the Rhondda Steam. Coal Miners' Association, held at the Windsor Castle Hotel, Ton, Mr W. Abraham, ? M.P., (Mabon), referred to the loss sustained by the industrial classes through the death of the late Mr Bradlaugh, whom, he said, had done more in the cause of freedom and the amelioration of the people in general than many hundreds of others who had had far better opportunities than he. During his short career as member of Parliament he was instrumental in passing several useful, if not complete, i-neasurez, which eased the burdens of the people. His loss would be mourned, not in England alone, but by millions of human beings among the various castes in rhe Indian empire. Subsequently the foilov. resolution was adopted: That we, as delegates, pdSS a vote of condol- ence with Iv'rs Bradlaugh-Bonner in her inefface- able sorrow at the loss of her fiii.nor. Mr Charles Bradlaugh, is .P., whose nar::tè has been rendered Illustrious by his services to the nati. ii, his efforts to better the condition of the po-r and hard- working men of this and oth-eouiitiies. and by his life-long vindication of fveedom."
