The Welsh Coast Pioneer and Review for North Cambria

Penmaenmawr v. Conway. (North Wales Coast League). [BY "GWILYM."] L OUARRYLM'EN EXPERIENCE ANOTHER DEFEAT. The Penmaenmawr eleven journeyed to Conway on Saturday 'to play /their return League hxture. At home, a few weeks ago, the quairymen were beaten by three goals to one. Nevertheless, the visitors were hopeful as to the result of tlhe earning encounter, while their hosts were not over-sanguine. Considerable: rivalry exists between the teams, and the result was watched with miuchi interest in boftiii towns'. Half a gale of wind prevailed, yet the "gate" was a, gcod one. The reams were as follows.: — Penmaenmawr: J. S. Jones, goal; T. Jones audi Phillips, backs; T. Coleman, D. Foulkes, and D. Jarvis, halves; W. E. Hugfhes, D. Roberts, Trevor Roberts (centre), Llewelyn Roberts, and D. J. Roberts, forwards. Conway: Llew. Parry, gcal; Owen Ellis and Bob Jones, backs; Ben Evans, Bob Owen, and Shem Jones, halves J. R. Jones, L. H. Roberts, Ernest Parny (centri), Walter Parry (capt.), and! Wilson, forwards. Referee Mr Hersee, Llandudno. The Game. Parry woTL the spin of ithe coin, and the' visi- tors- cpen,e.d against the very strong wind, which at once assisted; the, home, side in placing the quarrymen on ithe defensive. The ball was repeatedly blown ou![ of bounds, however, and it was some time before Parry, senr., got his left to work in midfield. With rare, judgment be lifted the leather well in the face of the wind, and but a couple orf inches still more to windward' would have found the net-a beauti- ful attempt which gave rise to a rousing cheer. A minute later, the same player essayed a similar effort, but again the elements were a trifle too strong. The visitors struggled man- fully against a furious attack, and it was only after seven minutes' steady defensive work thaib they at last conceded a corner. Nothing came of the flag-kick. pennedl once more in their own quarters, the, visitors assiduously kicked the leather out of play, and tlhe 'game became very moncltoaous. Alt length, however, Llew. Roberts gat away on the left, and, transferring to his outside pantner, be, beat Bern Evanfe neatly. 'Bob Jones was ye't to be reckoned! with, however, and the latter pulled; up his man cleverly. A long kick down the field) placed the harnesters in a favourable position once more, and a score seemed imminent. Tom Jones found things too warm, and eventually kicked dlead in self-defence. Ben Evans planted the corner kick somewfhat wide. Another flag-kick was conceded, and the leather once more flew np field, but Bob Owen, ever en the alert, sent it rigfat up to the goalmouth. Here there was a sharp scrimmage between the, home forwards and! Itihe visiting backs. The ball bobbed about from toe to toe within five yard's of the net. Ernest Parry secured at last. He stood with his hack towards his opponents' goal, and tlnere was quite a number of defenders encircling him. He could not turn round ho do the needtful, but Ernest is nothing if not resourceful, and witlh uncommon presence of mind! he smartly applied hits betel, and the ball skipped past "J.S." be- fore; tihe, latoter had time to realise the possi- bility of such a feat. This was a beautiful bit of work, and, naturally, much relished by the crowd. Five minutes later-Penmaenmawr had meanwhile paid one short-lived visit to the other end!—Bob Owen obtained1 possession about twenty-five yards off tthe visitors' citadel, and wiith a terrific shot, which kissed Tom Jones'.s hair, he beat the qu'arrymen's keeper all to pieces. Little Llew. had been having a very quiet tlirit: so far, but .a,t ilfhis junctture tihe visi- tors appeared to rally. Their left wing initiated a dashing .move, which seemed) ito cause lihe home keeper som'e anxiety. Llew. Roberts tested Ihis namesake with a hiardi slhot, but the homester negotiated splendidly. With a huge punt, he cleared his end of the only serious danger1 which marked the; first half. Shortliy afterwards the visitors, were penalised for a foul writhin the prohibited area, a.ndl ,Bdb Owen made full, use. of ,the free kick. Ernest Parry, L..11. Roberts, and' J..R. Jones were, seen to great advantage a few minutes later, and Wilson ex- perienced very hard lines in missing tlhei polishing-off shrJc. At half-time Conway ledl with. a. margin of three goals to nothing. Gocd football was an impossibility in such a wind', and the few smart bouts wihidh character- iSiedJ She initial moiety were altogether absent in the illa4t. half. Indieed, the 'ball was more than half the time scurrying its way far beyond the confines o'f the fame's, venue. The ele- ments were .now favouring the quarrymen, though when ft-hey reached a point whence became practicable, the homesters— determined to give no unnecessary chances- kicked oufc. "Chatham tadties" these are known to South Englanders, ,and: they are mudh despised. However, the, quarrymen seemed equailly as ready to adopt the method as their opponents, even when operations were con- dudtoo in thie Conway half of the field. What there was ito gain in this is difficult to discern. For fifteen minutes this dead-kicking went on. Then, tihe home right got into motion, "J.R." and Lewis Hugh carrying up the leather to within 'a ifew yards of their opponents' goal. The former rapped it home at a difficult angle, but 'Mr Hersee ruled this player off-side. Few minutes elapsed, however, before tihe Conway quintette, w, !Bob Owen, were away again at top speed.. 'Bob beait Tom Jones, and "J.S." was also defeated with ',a sWiift right-footer}, wliilch füundJ the far corner .of :dhe ne't. In due course, the visitors' right effected a clear- ance, and, after a .short, sharp tussle in. mid- field, Trervior Roberts secured, and! 'brought lilctle Llew. to his knees for the .first time with a splendid shot. Ben Evans headed a. rush for the quanyimen's end, shortly afcerwards, and "J.R. With. Parry junr. in close attendance, worked past Phillips and Torn Jones. Parry- took "J.R.'s." pass neastly, and with, equal neat- ness 'beat J. S. Jones with a dai.sy.-cutter. Again Mr Hersee applied the off-side rule—- this time unjustifiably, I think. Penmaenmaiwr worked: hard during the next five minutes, buiti the ihome defence was reliable. Shem and WaJllter Parry were primarily responsible for the. next attack on tlhe paiiti. of the homesters. The ball was kicked ouit of play. Tcm Jones .h was Tesponsilblefor the goal-kick. "J.R." took it up, and, after tricking a couple of the visit- ing forwards, he straightway directed home a ■lovely cross-stock, which gave the visiting cus- todian no earthly chance to save. Full time 'arrived with Conway leadingl by five goals to one. A Few Remarks. SOl far as the result of the game is con- cerned, the Conway eleven have, every reason to be proud, of their achievemen't. It means that they have added two more points to their credit on the league [table; that they .maintain their position as second! on the ladder; and that they have no-w a goal average of 22 against 10. Fram 'a foctball standpoint, however, the match was distinctly disappointing. Having regard to the very high. w,inct-, an open game was, of course, not to be expected!, but -both- sides could have indulged less in kicking, out, and mere in the. game. That the better side secured the, victory is undoubted; nevertheless, the quarrymen, are not so weak a side as the score would lead one to believe. Their right wing is weak, ahdi this fac/t ac- counted for much ii'i.-luck on Saturday. I understand that at a meeting of ishe League Executive Committee, on Saturday evening, Walter Parry, kihe captain of the Conway team, was suspended for twenty-eight days in conse- quence of 'Mr Beech's report concerning the Conway—Llariberis affair on Saturday week. It wil.1 Ibe recollected bhat Parry was on that occa- sion ordtered off the field byfr Heiech for rough pkuy. No special importance was then at- tached to the incident, because it was generally known Parry had not been previously warned by the referee; neither had he been on any occasion reported at "headquariters." Under the circumstances, it Was thoughlt he would be dealt with under the "FirA Offender's Act," and "discharged with a caution!" Now that the league; 'authorities have adopted such a drastic course, however, the Conway club are loud in their protestations against the decision. It appears ichat at the same meeting two Cottwyn Bay men were suspended for fourteen diays, on account of an, offence of a precis-ely similar nature. The veteran Downes was one, of thiem. Now, rightly or wrongly, this man has been pulled up, in. the same way on, I be- lieve, three previous occasions, and,, on making a comparison, of his oase with that of Parry, the League executive can scarcely 'be complimented upon the manner in which; they mete out justice. To. lose the services of their capftain is a serious 'blow to the Conway eleven. Fortunately, three out of the four matches, par- ticipation in which is denied! him, are but com- paratively unimportant—'but that is Conway's good luck. good luck.

Uaundudno Amateurs v. Uanrwst. (North Wales Coast League). [BY "VIGILANT."] SPLENDID VICTORY OF THE AMATEUR'S. The Amateurs had to open their home League match with 'vivid recollections of their extraor- dimary defeat at Portm:adoc of ten goals to one, and consequentlly there was small doubt in the mind's of the Llandudno supporters but that their 'poets'—suffering under such a disgrace- would, iii a great measure, endeavour to wipe off tttie remembrance of so unpleasant an, open- ing of the season. As is often the: case at Llandudno, there was a strong, high wind' blowing1 obliquely across the field, aii,cil it was at once' seen that accurate play would be out of th« question. The Amateurs were strongly represented, and tiirnecd .out in new colours-amibea: and black jerseys, with wthifce knickers—and they jjJ-a-yed a new forward in the person of Anderson, who partnered David Griffiths on the right wing. That he was a distinct success may be judged from the fact that he scored three cf the four goals placed to the credit of the Amateurs.. The "Roosters" were without the clever centre-half, Di and played Lei Black- wall in goal. The team, taken altogether, but with the above exception, was perhaps, as strong as the committee can place upon the field. Sergelant Hunt, of Conw'ay, was the referee, and the folllOiwing players represented their re- spective, sides:- Llandudno R. Roberts, goal; Johnnie Wil- liams and J. Lunt, backs; Jacoh Williams, Georgie Davies (vice-captain), and W. Roberts, halves; David Griffiths, Anderson, Bolb Welch (captain), R. Pritchard (Deganwy), and Herby Hotchkiss, forwards. Llanrwst: Lei Blackw'all, goal; Robert D. Richards and T. Jones, backs; Francis Wil- liams, Jim Jones (captain), and' Grenville Jones, halves; Evan Jones, J. Jones (Fest'iniog), Bellis, Cbishotlim, and Willie Owen, forwards. The "Roosters" won, the toss, and played with a strong wind in their favour, and with the help of this, got well down into the Amateurs' terri- tory alts once. They 'were well repulsed by Lunt and Williams, and by judicious serving the Amateurs' forwards worked; up nicely against the wind, though they were seen sent to the rightabout, by sonie, good work by Robt. David. Tlhe game, considering the elements, was of apilleasing character, and some neat and; effective work was shown by Llandudno, nclc- wilthstanding the wind'. The "Roosters," being long pressed, -and forced a corner, which Evan Jones took, but the ball was blown far behind the goal. Evan Jones, from, the resuk of the goal kick, soon got possession again, and sent in. a splendlioi, pass, which Belliis missed von- verting. Some give-and-take play ended in Herby Hotchkiss getting, in a splendid run on thei left, but he was well-checked when getting in/to a dangerous position. Shortly afterwards, Lei Blackwall got in a shot, which was easily

negotiated. Coming down tihe field soon a lively pace, Evan got in. another of -his cen alth-ou.gr the birdis were not nimble enoug steer it into the net; and a long-range sino Bellis was sent widte of the mark.
