CARNARVON v. LLANRWST. POINTS SHARED. (By "RccordN.") After a somewhat long interval, a North Wales Coast League match was played at Carnarvon last Saturday. Llanrwst being the visitors. Neither team have any aspir ttionf- for the cham- pionship of th-s League, and very little interest was snuwn in the game. Unfortunately for Carnarvon, they were un- able to put their best team on, and to make matters worse, two of the players did not turn up, the game being well advanced before substi- tutes could be found for them. The teams were:— Carnarvon: W. Hughes, goal; J. T. Williams llugh W illiams, full backs; Jack WiJIiam, Evan Hughes, and II. Billing', liaive, R. H. Ro- Iverts, J. Trevor Roberts, Walter Jones, Tom Roberts, and J. Jones, forwards. Llanrivst: Dick Jones, goal: Trevor and W. Owc-n, full backs; GrenviJle Jones, R. D. Rien- ariK, and Francis Will iams, halves; Chisholm, Howell Roberts, Elias, Humphrey Roberts, and Richarr1, forwards. Referee: Mr J. Roberts, Bangor. The visitors arrived twenty-five minutes and appeared quite happy about it. Carnarvon, who started with a couple of men short, were quickly placed on the defensive. The Llanrwst right wing got going, and with "ily one full LLANRWST SCORE EARLY. back in front of him, Chisholm had no difficulty In opening the score. This was a damper, but with the aid of a foul the homesters extended the Llanrwst defence. Francis, however, cleared. Richards, the visiting outside left, then got a move on, but was placed offside. R. H. Roberis looked like getting through for Carnarvon, hut Francis blocked his passage. A few minutes later, the Llanrwst forwards came down in a busi- nesslike fashion, and from a melee in front of goal, Howell Roberts, their inside left, placed his side further ahead with a soft shot. Llan- rwst 2, Carnarvon 0. Surely this was a bad start for the homesters, two goals in arrear ten min- utew from the start. In a few minutes W. Hughes pu>t in an appear- ance between the sticks, and a little later H. Billings took up ix>sition as left half. Carnarvon now had eleven men on the field and this quick- ly put a different aspect on the gbme. After some midfield exchanges, Waiter Jones ran in and had hard lines; a little later Roberts was within an ace of scoring. Llanrwst soon again got going, and Elias, their centro, when in a good posi tioll, was easily robbed by Huglne Wil- liams, who, by the way, played a sound game for the homesters. Two or three corners fell to Carnarvon, but they were of no avail. Again Cirnarvoil got going, but J. Jonc.s put behind. Tho Llanrwst outside right (Chisholm) sprinted along to be robbed practically on the line by Williams. From this to the interval Carnarvon pressed hard. Walter Jones and Roberts (inside right) losing golden opportunities, and the inter- val arrived with the score: 1 Jan rwst 2, Carnarvon nil. The second half saw the Roosters facing the sun, and Carnarvon playing' towards their favour- ite goal. BUSINESS MEANT BY CARNARVON. It was plain that the homesters meant business, for they raced down the field headed by Walter Jones, and the outside right was within an ace of scoring in a scrimmage in front of the Llan- rwst goal. A few minutes later Tommy Roberts entertained the spectators with some pretty foot- work, which eventually placed Walter in posses- sion, this worthy once again sending in a beauty which the Roooters' goalie (who was playing a grand game) saved at the expense of a corner, but this was placed behind. Nothing of interest followed up to about 20 minutes before the end, when, from a jkiks by J. Williams, R. H. Roberts raoed down and cen- tred to the goal mouth, the ball hitting the up- right, and in trying to scoop the ball out, one of the Llanrwest players placed trie ball inside his own goal. It was a BOft. goal, but on the play the horn esters deserved it. On restarting Llan- rwst raced down, to be checked by Trevor Wil- liams. Then ag&in Carnarvon took up the run- ning, and the Llanrwst goal had very hard lines. On one occasion J. Trevor Williams, in midfield, tried his luck, and with a long shot just skimmed the bar. Towards the end Carnarvon wero again pressing hard, and from a throw-in Will Trevor conce-ded a corner, which was placed nice- ly by R. 11. Roberta, the goalkeeper fisting out, an J the b:tll, after a temporary jull in the gamib wa» placed in the net by J. jone*. With matters level both teems fought hard to gain the upper hand. A foul for Carnarvon looked like another downfall for the Llanrwst goal, but the shot was charged down. Tom Ro- b"arts dribbled along the left, and the Roosters' right full back handled just on the penalty area. Carnarvon claimed a penalty, but, Referee Ro- berts thought different, and granted a free kick, v-p iO tho finish Carnarvon were pressing hard, but could not, increase their score, and the whistle sounded for time with the score: I Carnarvon 2, Llanrwst 2.

INTER COLLEGIATE MATCH AT BANGOR. NORMALS v. 'VARSITY. NORMALS WIN WITH TEN MEN. (By "Spectator"). The Ffriddoedd Ground, Bangor, was the ';c'cn<: of the last NormaVVarsit-y match of the season. The 'Varsity had won-the previous three matches, and were evidently bent on securing the fourth, thus creating a record, but the Normals were quietly awaiting their opportunity to lower the colour of their local rivals. Throughout tho week the men of Upper Bangor were possessed of that calm contidenc.' which is always present on the evo of a surprising victory. Exactly to time on the Saturday Turner and his deter- mined men lined up on the field, where the cal- culations of the 'V arsity were to be completely upset. The teams were as follows:— 'Varsity: Meikle, goal: D. S. Owen and W. J. Jones, backs; Hugh Williams, Do.n Rowlands and W. Griffiths, half-backs; D. E. Davies, Matthews, C. E. Thomas, Smcdley and T. Cromer, forwards. Normals: C. Price, goal; C. Rowlands and Dick Williams, backs; A. Cross, F. Attenboro' and R. H. Griffiths, half-backs; M. Jones, E. Palfrey man, W. S. Whitney, L. Turner (capt.) and T. Hamer, forwards. Referee: Mr E. Lloyd Williams, Bangor. Turner won the toss, and eleered to play down tho slope. From the kick pff the Red and Greens rushed down upon D. S. and W. J. Jones, and before the 'Varsity realised that the game HAS A VIJDE- AVAfctKWfr. was in progress a Normal forward put behind when attempting-to centre. The Normals re- turned to the attack, and so severely pressed the defence that relief was found by conceding a, corner. The chance, however, proved fruit- less. Turner and Hamer. on the left, were soon in evidence, and the Normal captain experienced hard lines in missing the net. The 'Varsity forwards then attacked. Matthews and Davie." running up, but the clever plav of Attenboro' and H. Griffiths spoiled tho effort. Another attack was made by Gromar and Smedley, but Itowland6 forced the former to shoot wildly. The 'Varsity visit to Normal territory was of very short duration, as the Normals were again be- sieging Meikle's charge. The game became slow, but soon the Normals became unusually aggressive. Hamer and Turner ran down the left wing, and after completely defeating D. S. tho left wing was enabled to send a perfect centre to Palfreyman, who, without a moment's hesitation, opened the score for the Normals after about ten minutes', play. The ro-start found the Normals without Whit- ney, who was disabled. Plav was then confined to neutral territory, where Attenboro' gave the opposing' forwards an exhibition of scientific football. Matthews and Davies were extremely anxious to run up the right wing, but failed to negotiate H. Griffiths and R. Williams. Onco more did the Normal forwards return to the at- tack. but for a time the opposing defence triumphed. A pass by Cross enablod M. Jones to kick to the centre, and an excellent shot was rent in. Meikle cleared, b, -r. 11. Griffiths, who was standing just outside the penalty area, received. Heber re- turned with a magnificent shot, and the ball landed safely in the corner of the net. From the re-start the 'Varsity worked well up i.nto Normal territory, but were never really dangerous, and half-time arrived with the score standing at two goals to nil in the favour of the Normals.

NORMALS' LEAD MAINTAINED. After placing the leather for the re-start the 'Varsity made several attempts to rush the back division of the Normal ten. The attempts were, however, fruitless, and eventually Dick Williams kicked far up the field. The game then be- came slow, as the 'Varsity forwards were in- clined to keep the ball close. An attempt by Srnedley and Cromar was defeated by the nmgnr- ficent heading of Cross. Still, Smedley made determined efforts, and at last gave Cromar his opportunity to shoot, Price dealing effectively wit.h the ball. No chance was given to the 'Varsity quintette to settle down to their usual game, as the Normals' backs forced them to pass and to shoot badJy- A corner taken by D. E. Davies proved fruitless. A free-kick given against the 'Varsity enabled the Normal forwards to rush up to their oppo- nents' penalty area. Madoc Jones sent in a magnificent centre, pure luck saving* the 'Varsity from disaster. Play was transferred to mid- field, wiiero vigorous football was witnessed. D. E. Davies made a. great attempt at scoring one of his characteristic goals. He had reck- oned, however, without H. Griffith, who easily prevented the wing centring. The 'Varsity at- tack was severe, while- the defence of Attenboro', Will tarns and Rowlands was brilliant-. The game was rapidly coming to a close, when R. H. Williams, unfortunately, handled within the penalty area. The kick was entrusted to D. S., and he, despite his usual unerring accu- racy, sent the ball against the upright, to bo safely kicked into touch by a Normal back. The 'Varsity again attacked, only to find the Normal backs safe. At C\:is stage, Price was conspicuous fc* some fino saves, but soon the whistle sounded announcing the end of the game, which gave to the Normals a well-earned victory by two goals to nil.

fiiiendly'maJches. COUNTY SCHOOL FOOTBALL AT RHYL. A correspondent writes :~I ha.d the pleasure on Saturday of witnessmg a football match on the ground of the Rhyl County School. The rival loams represented respectively Holywell and Rhj 1 County Schools. From the start tinere was only o-ne team in it. The H..hy I boys displayed fine, crisp football, their combination was superb and their understanding perfect- °™l vcr{ rareiy eve" in first class footba'i such a clever exposition of the tine old pastime I no not hesitate to state that Rhvl Countv School p«*«wes the finest school football team in North, W ales. The team is evenly balanced, and every bit of play gives evidence to bhe perfect understanding of the players TV nnal score was 10.2 in favour of the home team wlno could easily havo enlarged the score if thev had chosen to exert themselves in the .coond half. All the players acquitted themselves well and it would be useless to single out any one as deserving of special praise. I learned on in- quiry that the team I-ar- not been beaten this season. I would the Rhyl inhabitants to go sometimes to their school's ground for 1 can assure them that they will not be disap- pointed with the play they will witness.

BEAUNIARIS v. BANGOR RANGERS RESERVES. Th«:e teams met. at Beaumaris on Saturday 'before a good number of f^pectatcxra. teaim early showed their superiority, and led at half-time by four goals to one. In tlhe second partioai they again scored thrice, w-hilt the visitors only penetrated the uprights once. Final: Beaumarie, 7; Bangor Rangers Reserve, 2.

Bl LLANDUDNO AMATEURSy. CREWE BOILER WORKS. StPI/EiNDID DISPLAY BY THE AMATEURS. Owing to Pwllheli failing to keep their en- gagement with Llandudno, on Saturday, af- rangfecne.nts were made with the Crewe cilevcn to give an exhibition on the Council Field. The Creiweates cam,, with a bag reputation, hav- ing defeated Holyhead tomewh.at easily in the early part of the The. afternoon was an ideal one fior football, and with tho ground in fine condition, a. good ga.me was looked for ward to. The lioomeeters ware without the services of Jack Hunt and Johnny Williajns,, the former being stiill laid u,i> through an injury. Mr J. H. Vincent had charge of the game. The visitors were the first to get under way, Davie-) (putting in a. cimart run dbwn the right, a.nd S. Williams, cleared well. After a tpeli of midfield play, the homes'te;-» got dangerous. CheoeoÜ]mlll1 cent out to Jim Williams, who was., however, proven,t,ed from doutg further mieohief by Tagg. The visiters'' left wing was now very prcminen-t, but Jacelb upivet their little scheme, the movement ending in the latter sending ofver tho bar. The Amateurs now tciok up the run- nmee, and forced a erwrer off Tatrjr. This, was well. placed by Jim Williams, who enabled Ho- well Widlia.mij to be-ot WhitiakeT with a fine header. The vieito-ja, by fine coimtbinationy were foon back in the home quarter, where. Limt brought off a fine save from the foot of Wyatt. Back again came the Amateurs. fTheetham ear. out-to'Jinn, who whipped the -ball agrees the goal mouth, W. A. Williams failing to put in the finishing touch. Still pressing, Oheethajm across to IlowelJ Wiili-atm.% who made no mistake with a fast shot. The visitors got back again in the vicinity of L/unt, who again brought olrf a splcuxlid Wove from the foot of Wysutt. Soon after, Davies sent acros.9 to the centre, for McGo-wan. and Wyatt to rush up, but Dun<t left hie charge and cleared pplendidily. It was certainly very annoying to Davies, who was playing a. great game, to see his oe-it;ree going a begging, the forwards deplorably weak in front c!f goal. H-time arrived witih the homnesiters leading by two goals to nil. THE HAT TRIOK. On resuming the hemeetere at once took up the attack. Oheethaim parted to Howell Wil- liams, who brought Whittaker to his knees with a fast shot. Soon after, Howell again got through, owiaig to a. in-; ak.-?. on the part of Lea, and perfo-med, the ha.t t.Tick by beating Whit- taker with a fast phot, the ball landing in the cornier of the net. :1011)0 pretty work was now put in by Davie-, who sent acros?, H.

NORMALS v. CHESTER COLLEGE. A DRAWN GAME. On Monday week the Normals journeyed to Chester to phy their return match with. the CV>-1egians of tho border city. The game was full of exciting incidents and well worth wit- nessing. The "nening stages were fast and in favour of Chester. The Normals by caretul and steady work reached their opponents'^ territory, where exciting play took place. Some tune aftier the start Ilamer opened the score for Bangor, with an excellent shot. This reverse caused Chester to severely attack the Normal goal, and a few minutes before Robinson equalised for his side. Tho restart found Chester attacking rnce B charge, but the visiting custodian, after sav ing tJhrce stinging shots, was beaten by a fourtu, which gave Chester then- second point. For some time Chester maintained their siege ot thci visitors' territory, but the fine work of n. H. Wiillia-ms, Attenboro' and Rowlands prevent- ed further disaster. Towards the end of the game tho Normal forward^ made a determined attack on thf> home goal. This residted in Turner equalising by sending in a well placed ehot, leaving the giiwio drawn, eaeih side having Morcd two iwls. For the visitors R. II. Wil- liams, next season's Normal captain, played a magnificent game, being without a doubt the best man of his side.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. (By "Criticuri."). CARNARVON AND DISTRICT. When Llaninvat tOarte-d the gaime at Carnar- von,, om. Saturday, they anrast have imagined they had a. soft thing on, evidently .ignorant of tihe fact that the home lot were t-wo players eho:t. In ssbout -aiJ many minuter; they had tho ball in the net twice, but when the full coar.rple- ment of the Carnarvon players writ, on the field, tho assumed a different atipcci. There was not much in the; game to enthuir-o over, and it must be stated that the Roosters, who, iby the way, arrived on the field live and t-wun'ty niiin'utcs late, were lucky to gain a point for the Jictmoetera had the best cf the exchanges. When IJanirwp't did get going, they were always dangerous, bult they were not al- lowed the slightest rope. For Carnarvon, the two full backs, played a power f id game, and Trevo.r Rob-erts made several heroic efforts to score. Johnny Jones, Waiter Jones, and R. H. Rdberts -also had hard luck right through tho piece. In. fhort, the whole team played a good game though it jn- cluded several reserves. • Dick Jones,, the Liian-nvst goalkeeper, was in fine- fotile, and Will Owen, the- left full, was- safe and steady. Francis, whom I regard ae one of tho beet halve,v along the ocast, made no bones about checking the Carnarvon right wing. Chieho,lni and Richa-rds, the two extreme wing men, wleirlo Gl3 insistent as usual, and shaped well throughout the match.

BANGOR AND CARNARVON JOTTINGS. Simiply through being unprepared, Carnarvon nearly camea on Saturday. a Though Uan,rwrt obliged them by being al- most bal-an-liour late, they could not put eleven men) cn the field when the band played tho overture (other-wise when, the referee whit- tled for the kick-off). » » The okl Cockerils simply ran down the field, and, meeting practically no opposition, e'laimimed the haul into the net twice before one could say J ack Robin eon. » » » a Eventually, the two missing players arrived, a.nd with t-beazi the missing goals. ft » Carnarvon were then in the picture, with a vengeance, but owing to their un-prepare<lnort, at the outset they were unable to extract more than a point out of the gum-e. • # • • Before the match, the spectators were enter- tained by a pony, who knows hew to shift. On the field, one of the Roooters iIV nocently o^ked whether the tearii was late. The idea! » • ♦ • It's a sad pity that there are so many view- on-the-oheaip football 'V.'upporteirs" (?) at Can:>u,r- von. • » The Bangor Committee have their eye on R. H. Roberts for the Combination team.

COLWYN BAY SPARKS. At the second time of asking, the Bay and Greenfield were able to play their semi-finai tie a-t Rhyl on Saturday. The result, however, was a draw, wthich necessitate a fuo-ther bout. » • • • The re-play Will take place at Denbigh on Saturday wce-k, when rumour has it that that "king of whistle wielders," Mr A. C. Slater, Llandudno, will officiate. # In view of the replay training operations are to bo undergone. At least orders for such have been issued, tout how many wtill turn out is a different matter. Tho Bayites never have (in their own estimation) required any training, but possibly, now that -they have a "Cup" in view, they will at least give it a trial. « M On Saturday Carnarvon will visit Colwyn Ba,y, and to oipposo them the following team has been ohoEten :C. llallwoxl, goal; W. Jones, 0. E. Williams, backs E. Griffiths, T. WeUings, J. Griffiths, ha!vea: Moss .Jone.s, T. McCann (capt.), W. Parry, W. T. Jones, and Stanley Hughes, forwards.

FISHING. CONWAY VALLEY TROUT FISHING. FORMATION OF A NEW ASSOCIA. 1 rr TION. J A meeting of anglers was held at the Ferry Hotel, Tslyeafn, ou Thursday evening, con' vened by Mr A. T. Johnson, of [ Amongst those present "were Mr A. T. Johnson, Mr H. A. G. Stivens, Mr A. Stivens, Mr C. IV t Allard, Mr Jeremiah Griffith, Mr McFarlane, Mr Wright, Mr Bickers, Supt.

Johnson was appointed chairman for the evening. Mr Johnson explained that he had convened the meeting for the purpose of considering the question oi forming an Angling Association fof the district to cooperate with the Board of Conservators. 1 hey were tliAre-to hold an in- quest On the death of local trout fishery, or. rather to attempt to recover the little lifo that remained in it (hear, hear, and Both the streams and the lakes were in a deplorable especially those from Talycafn to Crafnant. The waters were netted, poached, In.r i !<\? looted with such disastrous reeult that good tnut fishing in the district was no longer available. In order to recover the past glory of the waters he suggested the formation of an Angling Association, which would be in a. position to acquire rights from tho small ownert and landlords. Thev would have to comment* on a somewhat small scale, and confine them- selves to trcrurt angling. To bring the move* mcnt to a successful issue, they would have to secure morn-v and' influence to maintain the sport as it should be. He had written to the Board of Conservators and Mr Isgoed Jones, J.P. (chairman of itT-o Board) had written to ex- press hi- at his inability to attend the mooting, dding that it enjoyed his full sym- pathy (near, hear).

CONWAY v. RHYL COMBiMATION. THE RHYLITES SOUNDLY BEATEN. (By "Linefimm'"). On Saturday, Conway signalled their jcuva! to form by; soundly defeating' the Rhyl Combination "Cloven, on the Morfa, bv three dear goais. in form by, soundly defeating' the Rhyl Combination eleven, on the Morfa, bv three clear goais. In the hope of seeing a good match, there v. a-- a lirgor crowd on tho Morfa than has been the C for some time. The Conway executive had selected their strongest eleven. The old defence was re-instated, and Llew. Pritchard, of Bangor, strengthened tho half-back line. J. Llcwe^vn Owen, Conwav's retont, transfer from Colwvn Bay, was introduced into the forward lino at outside left, with Sam Parry as. inside man. After a considerable absence from the ranks of the "Blueis," Saunders re-appeared as pivot, and Arthur Owen, whom Conway have aecured from Beaumaris, filled the inside right position. W. J. Jones, Con way's stalwart centre half, was an absentee, ai" he was required to do service for the Bangor y v, Normals mat-oh. On the other hand, the Rhyl executive had found themselves able t1> send down a strong team, as they had no Combination fix- ture that day. The teams line<! up ag followe: Rhyl: Hugh ^Hughes, goal; T. W. Ellis and B. Hughes, backs; W. Williams, R. RobertB, and J. W.FJ]i, half-back?; J. Parry, David Hughes, W. J. Hughoi, T. Harfison and L. Roberts, forwards. Conway: Joe Hughee, goal; Tom. Jones (capt.) e.iot O. Ellis, backs; Shem Joiit-, Llew. J'ritch- sk,d and Breese, half-barks; Tom Craven, Arthur Owen, Saunders, Sam Parry and J. Llewelyn Owen, forwards. Referee Mr Edwards. Mc-na i Bridge. The weathe was all that could bo desired when the gUme commenced, and Conway got to work in a very determined manner, but a centre from Tom Craven went begging. Next came two good efforts on the part of J. Llew. Owen, and the crowd held their breath as his shots swept across the goalmouth. Following this Cravou had hard lines with a well-judged shot. A foul against Rhyl placed the leather in close proxi- mity to the Rhyl goal, and Sam Parry sent in a ehot which passpd a few inches on the wrong eido cf the upright. A moment later, Sam tapped the goa: kick. and repeated Ins perform- ance. Rhyl ref»pr.*ided weakly, but managed to foroe a corner kick, which was, however, placed behind. The "Blues" broke away once more per J IJew. Owen, on the left- wing, but Rhyl cleared their lines. Conway again returned to the at- tack, but Sam P,rry shot wide. The Conway -taiilc again broke awav, and Snunders gave to hi<> left wing. Sam Parry being pulled up for offside. Tho Rhyl forward line thcn trt into their swing, and displayed nice combination. Tom Jones failed to clear with his foot, but headed awav to Shem. who punted down the field. The visitors were advancing again, when their work was spoiled bv one of their forwards handling the ball. The free kick put- Saunders In po«?wsio.Ti, an<l he sent in a swift ground shot, which T. W. Elhs only deflected from its course at the expense of a corner. The kick was beautifully placed bv J. IJe-w. Owen, and Saun- ders had nothing to do but head INTO THE NET. to the delight of the home supporters. Rhyl looked like breaking awav, when "Kow" Ellis kicked into touch. Shortly after Johnnie Owwi was responsible for another good centre, which was .not taken advantage of. Ellis next tried hi!> luck, and sent down a bouncing ball, but Hughes fisted out safely. The visitors looked dangerous, when offside relieved. The Rhyl outside left, who broke away, and after a brilliant run down, passed Tom Jones, and had only Joe to beat, when ho shot high over the bar. Tom Jones was next called upon to clear a dangerous rush by Rhyl, but he proved equal to the occasion. Tho Conway forwards were in their hppist mood, and Johnnie Owen getting away "middled" perfectly to Saunders, who SCORED A SECOND GOAL for tho homesters. At the interval, the "Blues" were two goals to the good. Half-timo: Conway 2, Rhyl 0. Tho second half was as full of excitement as tho first, and play was fast and i.ntercBting. The men in blue seemed to be invincible in de- fenco. and their forwards broke through all opposition. Sajn Parry completed tho triplet I CCHWftY GIVE5 RHYL A SHOCK, I of goals with a neat shot out of a rush in the visitors' goal. Johnnic Owen hit the side of the net with a beauty a few minutes after the kick off. Rhyl were pressing, and their forwards broke away. Tom Jones was passed, and tho leather was entering the net when "Now" Ellis cleverly saved the situation. No further sooro resulted, although both teams strove hard to find the net. Rhyl again missed an open goal. Rhyl were still endeavouring to score, and their efforts were ahnoot crowned with success, when L. Roberts se.nt in a swift drive from the left, which Joe only just managed to get to in time. A PENALTY FOR CONWAY. The "Blues" once more got going in nice order. The leather was centred to Saunders, and he was well within the penalty area, and forging ahead for goal, when he was fouled, and a penalty was granted tho hc-me side. Saun- deN was entrusted with the kick, but he let drive at the custodian, who saved the situation. The "Blues" worked the ball up once more, but Saunders shot over. A foul against Conway about a foot or so outside the penalty area. looked dangerous, but the ensuing kick was cleared safely, and the "Blues" were getting away nicely. Another gcal seemed probable, when tho whistle announced time up. Final: Conway 3, Rhyl Combination 0.

BANGOR v. FESTINIOG. DEFEAT OF THE QUARRYMEN. These teams met in a North Wales Coast League encounter, on Saturday. The state of the field was not conducive to good play. Mr Beech officiated as referee. Festiniog having lost the toss, were placed to kick towards the town troal. Bangor at once pressed, but their shooting when near goal was very erratic, a.nd at laet Meirion Jones broke away for the visitors, and ppened the score. After this reverse the homesters played with more dash, and were continually dangerous, but their final efforts lacked the necessary sting. Meirion Jones attempted to repeat his earlier performance, and broke through again, only to coma to grief, however, being badly fouled. L'lay continued in the visitors' half, being varied by an occasional attempt on the home territory. Following some tricky play by T. A. Griffith, Riohie Jones scored with a shot well out of reach of the goelie. From a good centre by Hughie Owen, the Festiniog custodian conceded a corner, which led up to three others, but struggle a-s they might the homesters could not get the lead. A good shot from W. Parry was got rid of at the expense of a corner by the visitors custodian. Hirful Jones at this period w..s especially good, a.nd worked like a Trojan. It was mainlv duo to his efforts that the teams crossed over level, and there can be little doubt that if Kinnear and Halt were included in the t rpiarrvmen's team there would have been a different tale to tell at half-time. BANGOR SCORE TWICE. From the re-start Bangor at once asserted their superiority, and literally walked round their opponents. They had them pcn.ned in their own half throughout practically the whole of the second half, Festiniog seldom succeedinc in passing the lino. Following good plav on the home left wing Richie Jones headed in Bangor's second goal, and after this there was only one team in it. Having obtained the lead, the homesters took matters very easy, and the concluding stage* of the game were far'from exhilarating. The homesters' third and la.-t goal was scored by Hwfa. who headed in from a me.ee following a corner. Thus a very tame encounter ended in a win for Bangor by three goals to one.

NORTH WALES AMATEUR CUP. (SEMI FINAL.) GREENFIELD AND COLWYN BAY MEET AT RHYL. HONOURS EVEN. -• The two teams should have met a fortnight last Saturday, but the game was postponed owing to the heavy gale then blowing. On Saturday, however, tho weather was ideal, and an excellent gartio ensued, marred somewhat perhaps by sonic roughness. The teams were: Colwyn Bay: Ht. 11 wood; W. Jones, O. E. Williams; J. Williams, T. E. Griffiths; Moss Jones, McCann, W. J. Parry, W. T. Jones, and Stanley Hughes. Greenfield: Jaek Jones; J. W. Furnival, R. Eidlwards; Harry Adame, R. E. Jones, Ben. Edwards; G. Petrie, Norman Jones, T. Evans, R. O. Griffiths, and J. Pearson. Referee; Mr W. LI. Jones, Llanrwst. Play was at once fast and furious, and Col- wyn Bay soon forced § corner. A beautiful kick was put in, but from the ensuing skirmish the leather went behind. The play was im- mediately transferred into the Bayites' territory, where Norm-an Jones tested HaJlwood with a slow shot, which the latter easily negotiated. Desultory, but even, play followed. Greenfield now began 10 display better daslh and combina- I tion than their opponents, and, gave the Bay defence a stiff time of it. The Bayites pre- vailed, and, running the ball up, McCann put in a long shot which was smartly handled by Jack Jcines. Greenfield retaliated, and a mo-, ment later the Bayites' custodian was called upon to save. The latter ran cut to clear. Greenfield again pressed, Petrie, their c!.eycr little outside right, sending a long shot, which touched the post. Colwyn Bay hurried the ball from their half, and eventually secured' a cor- ner, from which nothing resulted. -n i in Some pretty combined play by the Greenfield forwards brought the b:dl to the mouth of their opixments' goal, ant! after some exciting piay the hall was neatly tapped into the net by Nor- man Jones. Hallw-xxl in endeavouring to i-nvo unfortunately collided with one of the posts, sere-rely injnring his shoulder, cnusing the game to be stopped for a few minutes. On resuming Parry scoured the ball, and, after tricking a couple of his opponents with surprising coolmss and ease, sent in a lovely high shot,, which went right home amidst vociferou.,3 applause from the Bayites' supporters. Some smart work on the part of the Greenfield! forwards, in which Nor- man Jones and Petrie were conspicuous, re- sulted in Petrie putting in a lo<ve!y centre, which was sharply headed at the goal, but Hall- wood was equal to the occasion, and nothing resulted. Despite the individual efforts on the part of the Bayites, Greenfield still played the bcvtte.r Stanley Hu.ghes distinguished himoolf by a smart run, bat shot too soon. 'I'he game bad to bo again strr-ned owing to Tom Evans being injured aboj,;e the eye, and :1 moment later Williams, the Bay back, caused' another stoppage in consequence of inju.ries. Soon afterwards the half-time whistle blew, the scores being: Colwyn Bay 1, Greenfield 1. THE SCORES EQUALISED. On resuming Onhvyn Bay showed much bet- tor form and worked we!! together. Petrie for Greenfield forced a corner. The Bayites Ie- lieved, but Greenfield came on .-rain. Pearson chrecited a hot sho at his opponents' goal, but I it. was nicely saved by Hall wood. CoJwyn Bay broke away, and n. corner in their favour re- sulted. Parry got the bell from the flag kick, but just headed OTer. A moment later Parry was fotileat in the jK-nalty area; McCann took the kick, and easily put the Bay ahead. Green- field tlien played up briskly. Hallwocd and the Bay backs being sevorely tested. Petrie distin- guished formself by a smart run and hot shot, but IMJwotod again triu.n;,phed. The latter saved shot after shot, and elicited much ad- miration from the Whilst the Bay goal was being so hotly attacked the ball went. behind, and the l-efereo gave a corner. At last Cohvyn Bay darhed through their opponents' line and were soon lximbarding 1':0 Grecnfiehl goal. Stanley Hughes, after a splendid run lip. managed to evade all comers and pent, the bait into the not., but referee disallowed the goal on the ground t-har Parry, who had taken part in tho passing, was A moment later from a coiner kick the ball went again into the net. hut the referee decided1 that it was offside. Greenfield then' travelled towards the otiher end. and pressed Oiofly. Pearson sent in a wo-H timed and accural p shot, but Hallwoed neatly warded it off.

Greenfield, who were plaving a hemic game, aravo the Golwyn Bay a stiff few minutes of it. but could not, score. Before the final whistU went Coilwyn Bay had relieved the pressure. Result: Bav 2. Greenfield 2 COMMENTS. Tho game throughout was fast and alwavs interesting. Both sides played with determined vigour a-ud dash, but if anything Greenfield weie sightly the better team, beirig super- ior in combination. For the Bayites, the goal- keeper gave a magnificent exhibition, and, con- sidering that ho was injured! early m the game, wis efforts were remarkably good. The defence too played well, as did the forwards, but Mc- C¡¡¡jn and Pairry, one would imagine, could have improved matters by being a little more alert, although Parry's footwork compensated some- what for his sluggishness. Stanley Hughes, whenever he had a chance, took good advantage of it. This youngster has all the making of a fine player. For Greenfietd, Petrie was excellent, and the result of tiho game Should have been very dif- ferent if lie had been fed more judiciously. In the first half he was practically starved but when he did get the ball )I.:s work was always effective. Jack Jones, the goalkeepe-r, emerged from t c game with distinction, as did the two backs. half-backs were pretty good with tho exception of the foot that they neglected Petrie at times. R. E. Jones played a good game, and wasnever beaten. Aft the forwards were nemarkably clever-dashing a,.J accurate in their passing, No-rman Jonee and Tom Evans, the centre, -ip.^ciauly oistirguishing themselves! Tlie latter hid an vgly wound on the head, but pluokily payed on with his head bandaged Iho will be re-played at Denbigh.
