---BLAENAU FESTINIOO TROUNCE…
BLAENAU FESTINIOO TROUNCE LLANDUDNO. (By Festiniog 5 Ulandudno 2 Llandudno met Blaenau Festiniog on Saturday on the Newborough Park Ground, and sustained a severe defeat. The weather was reminiscent of spring at its best, while the ground was in excellent condition. A large number of specta- tors lined the ropes, and the form of the home- sters evidently delighted their supporters- Referee C. 0. Jones, Bangor, fined the teams at 2.45 p.m. as follow:- Festiniog: J. Hughes; T. Hughes and Jim LJo-di Moses Jones, M. E. Morris, and W: H. Williams; Jack Jones, W. R. Owen, Meirion Jones, Bob Roberts, and Ned Griffiths. < Llandudno: Lunt; W. Edwards and Lunt; J. G. Evan- G. Davies, and W. Owen; W. D. Wil- liams, J. Brown, Brookes-Evans, C. Davies, and Jim Williams. The spin of the coin having favoured the "Blues," they faced the Square with the eun behind their backs. Brookes-Evana set the sphere moving, and with his wing' men was in front of Hughes before the spectators quite rea- lised that the game had commenced. Jim Uoyd, however, came to the rescue, and passed to Meirion, who galloped up to Lunt, crashing the leather against the crosB-bar. Jack Jones was next in evidence, but the energetic right winger was fouled while on the point of shooting. Mier- ion took charge of the ensuing- penalty kiok, Betting the leather within four minutes of the start, midst a hurricane of applause. From mid- field, Meirion priced the half-back line, and parted to his left winger, but the pass was too fast for Griffiths, and the ball rolled out of play. The home forwards, however, were soon pres-ing, but the move was checked by an off- side offence. W. H. Williams secured the goal. kick, and potted the ball back to Meirion, who Bwerved round and delivered a lightning shot, which struck the goal woodwork. At last the visitors pierced the home defence, and a lively melee at the home left comer followed, Lloyd eventually kicking clear. Soon afterwards, Jack Jones dashed along the right, and parted to his pivot, who forced a corner off Lunt. Ned Grif- fiths sent in a beautiful centre, which dropped on W. R. Owen's head, and the b&U gliding over ibis back, found a resting- place in the net. The second point was thus notched within twelve minutes of the start. An attack by the "Stripes" iraa nipped in the bud by Lloyd, who punted the leather to Jack Jones. The latter worked Moog the right, tod fwisbod off by placing be- hind. The "Stripes" now rallied, and advanced in a body. After a somewhat livefy melee, C. Davies, who was hovering on the outskirts, sent in a grounder, which flashed between the home- sters' legs and into the net, Hughes being un- sighted. Another determined attack by the Sea- siders was cleverly checked by Tom Hughes- tThe play then moved to midfield, when the Blues were awarded a fruitless free-kick. In a few seconds, however, Meirion, with a magnifi- cent long drive, defeated Lunt "all ends up," the third point being gain in 15 minutes. The homestera continued to press, and Edwards was forced to kick out of touch. From the throw-in the "Stripes' left wing got away, but the at- tempt fizzled out before Tom Hughes. Davies, however, took a long' pot, and Hughes was forced to tilt the ball over the crossbar, the ensumg corner proving fruitless. G. Davies took a long pot from midfield, and the ball soared high over the crossbar. Roberts and Griffiths next worked their way in, and forced a corner, but nothing transpired. From a free-kick Meirion sent the leather skimming past the left goal post. Jack Jones shortly afterwards manoeuvred with judgment. and Lunt granted a corner. Jack centred accurately. A sharp serimmege resulted, and Lunt was called un repeatedly to save his charge. Relief came at last, but Ned Griffiths, by judicious headwork, worked his way in again, and centred to Meirion, who only missed by inches. A free-kick nearly on the penalty area line against the homesters caused anxiety, but the leather, to the evident relief of the spectators. was sent behind. Jack Jones next distinguished himslf by a solo run, but his final effort was somewhat wide of the mark. Another dash by the versatile Jack culminated in a froe-kick for the homesters near the. "Stripes' penaity line. Meirion attempted to realise, but missed by a very small margin. The visitors next, with well judged passes, penetrated the home defence, and swarmed in front of Hughes, but Ned Grif- fiths scured and dashed off, centring to Meirion, to be parted to Jack Jones, who sent the leather into Lunt'a. The goetlea threw out, Griffith returning over the bar. At half-time Festiniog led by three goals to one. Within 60 seconds of the re-start Meirion had scored a goal with a scorching hot shot, which passed like lightning between the opposing backs' legs and beyond Lunt's reach. The spectators relieved their pent up enthusiasm with a roar of delig'ht. The visitors evidently grasped the fact that vi ctory was slipping out of their hands, and made a desperate attempt to retrieve their position. The first attack ended when Brooks sent the leather high over the crossbar, followed by another from C. Davies, who placed behind. Lloyd was hard pressed, and conceded a corner, which, however, proved futile. Another attack by the "Stripes" proved more successful, Brown finding the net. A neat move on the home left resulted in a series of throws-in in the visitors' territory. At length Ned Griffiths, from the extreme left, took a pot and smt the leather against the upright. A pretty attempt was spoiled by Jack Jones, who handled. In a few seconds a lively scrimmage was in pro- gregg in front of Lunt, Roberts shooting into his lap. The "Stripes" retaliated, but Moses cleared and sprinted down the field. Llandudno re- turned to the attack, Brookes shooting somewhat wide. The visitors again attacked, and forced a corner, Brown shooting behind. From mid- field Meirion took a long pot, but Lunt fielded well. Llandudno pressed once more, Hughes fisting out a capital shot from Brookes Evans. Another attack by the homesters was nearly successful, Lunt all but putting the ball over his own goal line. Festiniog pressed persistently, Ned Griffith centring accurately to Bob, who proved far too slow, with the result that Ed- wards skied the leather to the other end, Hughes being called upon to exert himself to the utmost to keep his charge intact. The home left wing then gained position, but Bob again shot wide. In a few minutes, however, W. H. Williams sent Lunt a teaser. The homesters continued to press severely until at last Meirion, with a magnificent long shot of considerable penetrating force, found the net. The Blues continued to force the game to the end, and came out the victors by five goals to two.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT BY THE…
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT BY THE "ROOSTERS." ¡ (By "Touchline.") Llanrwst 2 Holyhead 1 These teams met in a League fixture on Satur- day at Gwydr Park, and were in charge of Re- feree C. J. Thomas, of Bangor. The teams were:— Holyhead: Collier; O. Morgan and Roland Williams; H. Williams, W. T. Jones, and L. Jones; Salisbury, II. O. Jones, McLean, J. Jones (1), J. Jones (2). Llanrwst: Gillett; W. Owen and W. Trevor; D. Thomas, R. D. Richards, G. Jones; Hum- phrey Roberts, Carter, W Arthur, E. Jones, A. Richards. Llanrwst lost the toss, and kicked off. The opening exchanges were in favour of Holyhead, whose forwards were fast, and proved trouble- some to the home defenders. Gillett saved well from McLean, but Owen was forced to concede a corner to keep his lines, clear. The flag kick was placed behind. Still pressing, L. Jones tried to lower Gillett's flag, but cJearing well the Roosters broke away, and Willie Arthur tried a long pot. Evan Jones put in some effective work, and W. Trevor's experience enabled him to continually put the over-anxious Holyhead forwards offside. W. T. Jones, the Holyhead centre half, a glutton for work, plied his forwards well. The Llanrwst forwards ex- cept the centre, showed no energy, though Evan Jones tried a slow shot, and following a tousrh in Holyhead penalty area, the Holyhead's left back was injured. He soon recovered, and a smart movement led to an attack on the Llan- rwst goal. H. O. Jones made the opening, and passed to McLean, who shot strongly. "Gren" tried to run across as the forward shot, but he arrived too late, and the ball entered the net. It seemed as though this roused the somnolent Roosters for a series of attacks. fol- lowed per Willie Arthur and A. Richards, but the various movements were badly finished, and the ball went behind. Further danger to. the Roosters was caused when W. Trevor missed his kick, but Gillett. was safe. Passes to A. Richards were continually allowed by that player to go out. The Llanrwst left wing pair at length improved, and showed effective combination, but neglected the centre forward when they had made the openings. The Llanrwst forwards were now having the better of the play, but Roberts shot badly. The referee's decisions were at times peculiar perhaps, but he was subjected to a great amount of hooting for a decision which was perfectly correct. An attack on the Holy- head goal by Evan Jones and W. Arthur re- sulted in 0. Morgan kicking the ball on to W. Arthur's chest, whence the ball went to Evan Jones, a foot behind Morgan-a. near thing, but still offsido, a fact which the crowd did not appreciate. The equalising goal quickly fol- lowed. Evan Jones drew Morgan and passed to W. Arthur and Carter, both unmarked. The former had command of the ball in a second, and left Collier helpless. Interest quickened, and the game became quite lively. Free-kicks for fouls were less frequent than is usually the case in these games. A clearance by Dai Tho- mas pleased the crowd, and half-time was called with the score equal, and the issue quite open. On the resumption Holyhead broke away, and Salisbury put in a fine shot which seemed a goal all the way, but the masterful Gillett made a wonderful save. lie sprang across the goal- mouth like a cat, and with out-stretched hands put the ball round the post. It was the most thrilling incident of the day. Robert Davy was prominent at this stage for the effective manner in which he robbed McLean and H. 0. Jones. Willie Arthur led another excursion to the other end, and a corner given by Morgan was headed behind by Carter. Following another attack Humphreys eluded the vigilance of Roland Wil- liams for the first time, and, three yards from the goal line, put in an effective centre to Evan Jones, who, five yards from Collier, made no mis- take, and scored what proved to be the winning goal. Holyhead endeavoured to draw level, and pressed frequently. Dai Thomas twisted his knee, and was away for five minutes, but re- sumed as a forward, Carter falling back. The tackling of the home backs and halves was now tr than at any period of the game, and, beeping the lead, Llanrwst were winners of a pleasant game by two goals to one.

NORTH WALES AMATEUR CUP.
NORTH WALES AMATEUR CUP. (Semi-Final). EXIT THE "CANARIES" AFTER EXTRA TIME. A STRENUOUS GAME, (By "Spectator.") Beaumaris 5 Carnarvon United 2 An enormous crowd attended the Bangor Town Ground on Saturday- to witness, in ideal football weather a tussle for the entrance into the final for tihe North Wales Amateur Cup between Beau m aris and Carnarvon United. When the "Beaus" appeared on the field they were accorded a hearty cheer by their supporters, who had taken the grand stand by storm and lined the ropes on the same side. Three en- thusiastic youths sporting painted top-hats and an umbrella representing the Carnarvon colours caused much amusement by their action in exa- mining the goals and nets, ana shaking rattles- The Carnarvon players soon made their ap- pearance, and a hearty cheer from the sup- porters rent the air. Prompt to time Referee A. C. Slater, Llan. dudno, marshalled the teams in the following ing order: Beaumaris: F. Richards; W. G. Williams and Sam Davies; Don Rowlands, Levi Jones and W. O. Humphreys, Smedley, and Sam Poole. W. O. Humphreys, Smedey, and Sam Poole. Caruarvon United: G. H. Jones; Evan Hughes and Albert Griffiths; Johnny Griffiths, Mack Herbert, and Jack Williams; R. H. Ro- berts, Tom Roberts, Walter Jones, Hughie Roberts, and Johnny Jones. Linesmen: Messrs R. D. Richards and E. Lloyd-Williams- Beaumaris winning the toss elected to defend t'he town goal. Walter Jones starting play back-heeled to Mick, who sent the ball on to Hughie Roberts, but Don Rowlands intervened and delivered to Dick Humphreys, who in his career fouled Evan Hughes. Infringements of rules were very prevalent from the start. From a free kick against the "Reds" Johnny Jones ran along, but came HI to contact with Don, and was hurt. Sam Poole and Evan Hug'hes had a race for the ball, Poole, how- ever, was much faster than Hughes, and was just springing ahead where Hughes brought him down in the penalty area. W. 0. Hum- phreys took the penalty kick, but G. H. Jones made a splendid clearance, for which he was enthusiastically cheered. A corner was given to Beaumaris. Dai took the kick and Don finished by sending the ball to touch twice in ipccesssion. The Carnarvon forwards advanced in a line, but W. G. was quite safe, and sent the leather to his front line, where Dick Hum- phreys fincshed wide. The "Canaries" were age,in on the move, and Tom sent Levi sprawl- ing' with a "heave." The "Reds" were award- ed a. free kiok, but their rush was again marred by some offence. Mick Herbert took the kick, and tested Richards, causing him to handle. R. H. Roberts received the ball off the cus- todian's hands, and was just going to drive the leather in when a fellow-player nipped in, and sent tho sphere wide. A rush following a free kick against the Canaries was marred by Lllck Humphreys being offside. The free kick, taken by Albert Griffiths, was tipped by Smedley to touch. Sam Poole ran along at a gteat rate, and J. Griffiths tried to rob him of tho ball, but fell, whilst "little Sammy" kept on his feet, but his idea of the direction of the goal was poor. Hughie Roberts robbed Humphreys and tried to pass to Johnny Jones, but Don cleared to mid- field, while Mick punted a little bit wide of the goal. CRAMMED WITH EXCITEMENT. The game was up to now full of excitement, and was kept up at a very fast pace, but very little combination was witnessed. The "Beaus" kept up the most pressure, but were decidedly unlucky in the vicinity of goal. A foul against Carnarvon caused Levi Jones to take a free kick, whicih Evan Hughes cleared by sending! the ball to the branches of a neighbouring tree. Tom Roberts led the "Canaries" front rank in at decisive rus-h, and he shot to Hughie Roberts who headed past the post. W. G. Williams cleared well all shots which came his way, out, Jack Williams, the "Canaries' left half, soon' tested Richards with a grand punt, which the custodian safely managed. Johnny Griffith, who played vigorously all through the game, dribbled through a batch of players, and passed to R. II. Roberts, who, however, arrived too late to keep tho ball from the touch line. Smedley and Johnny Griffiths had a race for the leather, but Smedley handled. Levi obtained possession, and he was awarded a free kick for a back charge, and Albert Griffiths cleared- Jack Williams was fouled by Davies, but Humphreys managed to obtain possession from tho free kick, and started a run on his own. He ended by •■sending over, to Smedley, who soundly tested George, out found him on the qui vive, and he cleared in a, nificently- Will Humphreys obtained the lea- ther at his toes, but ended wide. From the g'oal kick the "Reds" started a raid, where Jack Williams nipped in and sent tho leather over the touch line. Tom Roberta received, and passed to Johnny Jones, who tested Richards, the lat- ter saving well at full length -on the ground. Davies and Humphreys were down in the vici- nity of the Canaries' citadel, but Albert beat both with neat dribbling, and passed on to Jack Williams, who, however, tripped Levi. Levi took the kick, but sorno of the Canaries' de- fenders appeared to be in the way of the ball and Levi followed it up, but Evan Hughes robbed him, and W. O. Humphreys secured, but kicked miserably high over the bar. Ro- bert Hugh at last got the ball, and headed to Tom Roberts, who shot on to Hughie Roberts- Hughio smartly dodged Williams and Davies, and worked the leather round and scored for Carnarvon. Carnarvon United 1, Beaumaris 0. The Beaus opened play with a deadly rush, but Albert Griffiths cleared. Davies passed to Dick Humphreys, but had the misfortune to send it too far, till it went over the touch line. Receiving a pass from Jack Williams, Walter passed to Hughie Roberts, who tried to head on to Johnny, but Don intervened, and transferred the leather to Dick Humphreys, but Evan Hughes successfully cleared. Johnny Griffiths jumped up, and headed the ball onwards, but Humphreys caused him to handle. Sam Davies took the kick, and Albert punted well. George cleared an attack by Humphreys by sending to corner, from which Smedley had very hard lines in heading past the post. Levi was now ren- dered hors-de-combat. but he recovered, and limped to tako the free kick awarded him, much to the amusement of the crowa, but he suddenly recovered and was instantly in the Carnarvon goal, but Mick relieved by sending to touch. Johnny Jones was next incapacitated, and W. G. Williams as full back was a marvel, and placed a cool game, continually sending the Canaries back. Tom Roberts missed the ball from the free kick, and then Levi obtained pos- session, but in his career fouled Mick Herbert. Levi, however, again had the ball at his toes, and Herbert relieved the pressure by sending to touch. Evan Hughes cleared a raid on his goal, and sent to Johnny Jones, but Don, who kept his attentions on Johnny, cleared. Albert rushed into a melee, and was hurt, the game I having to be stopped. Levi secured the ball ag*ain, and passed to Sam Poole, who in his travels encountered Evan Hughes, who sent the ball to touch. Half-time: Carnarvon 1, Beaumaris 0. In the second moiety Beaumaris opened play, but Jack Williams cleared. Sam Davies re- turned the sphe.re to Smedley, and POOle gal- loped along when Mick intervened, and sent the ball to touch. Walter follow-ed Mick's tactics as regards kicking out. Albert took a drive in- tending to clear, but the leather came to George's hands, however, it was cleared. Smedley passed to "W. 0. who was robbed by Herbert sending to touch. Dai Davies ran along and made a grand pot for goal, but it was a trifle too high. Nevertheless, it was the best try of the afternoon. Sam Poole secured, and put in one of his dainty runs, but Evan Hughes sent the ball to touch. Johnny Jones received, and tried to work the ball goal wards, when Don sent to touch. Keeping their spasmodic rushes, the Carnarvon front line were again on danger bent, and W.G., for onoe, missed his kick, let- ting* in Tom Roberts, who, however, passed to Waiter, and that worthy was held up for offside when in a good position. Evan Hughes again missed hia kick, but recovered himself in the nick of time. A corner was soon awarded the "Reds," and Dai put a splendid shot in, but Humphreys kicked wide, and Johnn|y sent into touch. The Canaries' forwards once more got on the move, and when in full swing Sam fifcriee sent out of play. A corner was forced against the "Reds" and R. H. Roberts delivered well into goalmouth. A number of players jumped up with the object of heading clear, but all missed tjave Johnny Jones, who guided the sphere well out of Richards' reach into the net. THREE GOALS IN THREE MINUTES. The "Beaus. from the centre kick, galloped along at a terrific rate, and ran the ball through, Da: Davies doing the needful. Thus inspired, thfc Beaus secured the ball from the Carnar- von front rank, and went through the same order of play, and Humphreys equalised- The three goals were scored in lees than three minutes. Time was soon oalicd, the ecore reading 2-2. EXTRA TIMN, The ball wts-once more plaecd on the centre, and half an hour's extra tirr. was decided upon. By row the Canaries' play had dropped into thb merely kick-anywhere style, but the Beaus seemed as fresh as anything. A foui was given ag-tin-st the Canaries, but Evan Hughes cleared. Sam Poole secured, and evading Johnny Grif- fiths centred to Smedley, who tested George Henry, who appeared quite safe. Johnny Jones secured, and worked the ball along, but Hum- phreys intervened, and Tom Roberts handled. Sam Poole had a terrific pot for goal, but just missed it. Sam Davies sent the Carnarvon for- wards towards their own goal, and there Sam Poole secured and centred beautifully across gDaI, and Dai simply held his foot out, and the leather was in the net, but there was some in- fringement, and a penalty was awarded against Carnarvon instead. W. O. Humphreys took the kick, and made no mistake. Having onoe gone under the "Canaries" lost heart, and played poorly. Sam Poole was stopped for offside when the Beaus had made another raid on the Carnarvon citadel. Smedley shot into G. II.'s hands, and he saved well. Levi again tested him, but found him fully alive. On crossing over the "Reds" were keen on the attack, and Hughie Roberts and W. O. Humphreys were sent off the field by the re- feree. Fouls wero ve!- frequent now, and \V. J.Jones punted forward to Dai Davies, who was offside. Another free kick was given to Dai, who outdistanced all pursuers, and easily Deat the custodian. Don Rowlands ignominiously brought Albert Griffiths down to the ground, and from the free kick Walter ran along and forced a corner, but nothing resulted. From the goal kick Sam Poole gained possession, and neatly dodging all opponent,e scored the fifth gtoal for the Beaus. Names of several players on both sides wero now taken for foul play- Dai Davies again had a fino shot at goaj, which G.H. fisted over the bar. In the melee from the corner kick Albert was kicked in the face, and had to bo carried off the fiebd. Time was soon called, with the score: Beaumaris 5, Carnarvon United 2.
NORTH WALES COAST JUNIOR CUP.
NORTH WALES COAST JUNIOR CUP. COLWYN BAY BEAT DENBIGH AT LAST. (By "Observer.") Colwyn Bay 3 Denbigh 1 Football enthusiasts from Colwyn Bay &Cem II to have had a "day out" on Saturday, for they turned up in goodly numbers at the Belle Vu-e Ground, Rhyl, to witness the replayed tie for the North Wales Coaot Junior Cup between their team and Denbigh. There was abundant interest in the match, seeing' that this was the fifth time for the teams to meet, and the play- ers were evidenly bent upon a finish that day. The weather was all that could be desired, and though the ground was somewhat heavy, this did not prevent both sides putting plenty of vim into their work from the start, and a faster game has not been seen on the Rhyl ground for many a day. W:th just a few minutes' grace Mr T. Jones, Holywell, lined up the teams as follow:— Denbigh: S. Griffiths; J. S. Williams and L. Rees; T. Davies, T. A. Davies, and R. j Hug'hes; B: Davies, II. Randalls, J. E. Edwards, E. E. Davies, and J. Tuckticld. Colwyn Bay: Hall wood; AlcCann and Ton-' kin; Rowlands, Wellings, and Griffiths; Owen, S. Hughes, E. Roberts, W. Jones, and Moss Jones. Colwyn Bay won the toss, and they put their opponents to face a bright sun, but this did not deter Denbigh from putting on full pressure at the outset, and during thy first few minutes tho Colwyn Bay defence had a warm time, McCann coming to the rescue and clearing". The Den- bigh right King' quickly returned to the attack, and E. E. Davies had a shot for goal. He judged the distance well, and it required a smart move on the part of Hall wood to clear. He managed it, however, and then there was a dash down the field by the Ikiy forwards. The Denbigh backs survived the ordeal, and a scrimmage well down the field resulted, during which J, S. Wil- liams was hurt, and was compelled to leave the field for a; time. This was a bad start for Den- bigh, but they put their whole heart into the game, and placing the one back game they effectively pie vented Colwyn Bay from scoring. Then play for some time was in the Bay end. After a nice run down by T. A. Davies and Randalls, Wellings was called upon to clear- i He did so in good style, but lierwyn Davies got possession, and with a characteristic run he got well away, and it seemed as if lie was bound to score. McCann cleared, however, and Owen got the ball nicely centred to Roberts. Tho j Denbigh defence prevented the shot getting near the goal, and a run down on the Denbigh right ended in a foul against to Bayites. This gave the players a little breathing time, and a cheer went up as J. S. Williams returned to the field, but only for a few minutes, for his leg gave way as soon as he attempted to kick the ball. S. Ilughos next made a capital run down, and passing to Roberts, the latter in turn had to hand over to Moss Jones, who made a fine attempt, whicih Griffiths saved. A few minutes later, Owen centred to Roberts, the latter shooting behind. Following a run down on the I Bay rig'ht, Tonkin had an opportunity, but Ree.5I cleared at the expense of a corner, which, however, came to nothing. Denbigh, after this, transferred the play to the other end, and D. Davies got into position, but found McCann on the alert. The ball was sent on to Owen, who made for the other end. He beat the opposing forwards, and getting well in did his level best to scoii-e, but R. Hughes was too quick for him, I¡ and cleared. A corner quickly resulted how- ever- Rees headed out the nag'-kick, and the I ball was passed on to Tuckfield, who played a most consistent game. Beating tihe opposing forwards, he broke away in company with E. I E. Davies, the score being opened with a well- placed shot, which Hallwood altogether mia- I judged. After this, the Bayitea rallied well. The I game became exceedingly fast, and fouls were the order of the d<'l' for a time. Colwyn Bay kept the Dcnbigihitca penned in for some min- utes, but B. Davies came to the rescue, and some nioe passing was seen, in which Edwards and Randallsi showed up wei1. But for the tine defence of McCann the Bayites would have fared badly. Jones at times kept the ball much too long- Had he parted with it sooner his slde would have done better. As it was E. E. Da.- vies was able to get possession, and just as he was well on the run a free-kick was awarded for a foul on R. Hughes. In tae next few min- utes, Roberts, S. Hughes, -and Owen put innice work. Tney took the ball down the field, but lL Hugheb cleared, and Owen made another try, but he waa beateii by Griffiths. Jones, getting possession, was forced to hand on to Ro- berts, who, in turn, passed to S. Hughes, who made a fine attempt, but the ball went behind. From the goal-kick, R. Hughes broke away, and soon afterwards Tuckfield experienced hard luck over a capital effort. From McCann's clearance, Edwards returned with a fast shot, and Hallwood saved the situation by carrying the ball out. A foul against Roberts g'ave Uen- bigh a cliance, but they were easily beaten, and from a scrimmage in front of their goal the Bayites equalised. How the shot went in it was difficult to see, but Roberts was obviously re- sponsible for it. With the score level the excite- ment increased. The Denbigh left wing was responsible for some good work. When pressed, rr. Davies passed to Edwards, who just missed the goal by a few inches- The game was istill very fast, and both sides held up well. The ball travelled down the centre, and Wellingshad a hard try, Griffiths neatly turning the ball aside. From the goal-kick Rees was called upon to clean- a shot by W. Jones, and soon after- wards Moea Jones put in a capital bit of work. He took the ball well down his side, and centred, but Rees again beat him. B. Daviea sprinted into position, but was pulled up for "off-side." Denbigh kepi up tibe pressure, and Tuckfield shot, but Hallwood saved, and the ball travelled down on the Bay right. Moss Jones again had an opportunity, but the centre was weak and the ball went cut. Even play followed after this, and it was evident that while the Denbigh forwards were the better the Bay had tho advantage in defence- The centre did not respond as he should have done to the play of the wings. Whenever Owen or Moss Jonca secured the ball they at onoe oentred, but S. Hughes and W. Jones failed several times to make the best of the passes, with the result that several fine chances were missed. S. Hughes on one occasion had an open goal in front of him, Griffiths having1 run out to save, but misjudged the distance, and a fine op- portunity was missed. During a brisk attack by the Raphes Moss Jones was hurt, and for a time had to retire. This gave E. E. Davies a good chance, and he made the most of iot. Aid- ed by Edwards, ho worked the ball down, but Hallwood saved. Transferring play to the Den- bigh end, Owen and Rowlands beat all before them, but from the Sihot by the latter Griffiths managed to turn the boll aside. It was a near thing', and the Denbigh custodian was cheered for his work. Thence to half-time the Bayites had all the play. Moss Jones returned to the field, and Rees and Griffiths had all their work cut out. Roberts, S. Hughes, and Owen were responsible for some good work. Half-time arrived with the score reading 1—1. The Bay ltes opened the second half at such speed that both the referee and the Colwyn Bay linesman deemed it advisable to take off their coats, and they went through to the end in their shirt sleeves. The Bayites certainly had the best of the opening, the major por- tion of the work being done on the left wing, and it was not long before Owen put his side a goal ahead. It was the best goal of the day. G<-tting possession Owen went off at top speed. Well judging the distance he put plenty of force behind the ball, and scored a goal that completely baffled Griffiths. After this Denbigh put in better work, and their forwards, led by Edwards, were very aggressive, but McCann was so sate that he left little for Hallwood to do. The pressure from Denbigh did not last long, and Moos Jones again worked his way through Fouls wore numerous on both sides. It was evident after the second half had progressed soma fifteen minutes that the pace was too fast, and both sides cooled down considerably, a great deal of kicking out t)elrlg seen. The Denbigh right wing attacked, eventually E. E. Davies and Tuckfield working well together, but they faded to penetrate the Bay defence. Several scrimmages in front both goals were seen. On one occasion the referee had occasion to speak to some of the spectators from Col- wyn B:« who disputed his ruling, and on an- other the referee gave a decision contrary to the advice of the Bay linesman. After some mid- field play a run down on the Bay left gave Owen an opportunity, but Rees cleared. Roberts got possession, and a neat bit of combined play followed between him, Owen and Jones, the latter eventually finding the net. After this the game was more one-sided, the Bayites having the best of tne argument, although Denbigh again and ag'ain tried hard to equalise. I11 the last few minutes it seemed as if the Denbighitos would have broken through, but the Bay defence were equal to all calls, and after numerous fouls the game ended in a well-deserved win for Colwyn Bay by three goals to one COMMENTS. There was not much to choose between the teams. Denbig'h certainly were at a disadvan- tage while J. S. Williams was away. They fought a plucky game, and took their defeat well. The Davies' combination and Edwards were a pow-er in the team, while Randalls did very well. Rccs showed up well in defence, and Griffiths was as alert as ever. On the Col- wyn Bay side Moss Jones and Owen were tne best of the front rank, although S. Hughes at times put in nice work. W. Jones was not in tho b-et of moods. Of the halves Wellings per- haps was the pick, and McCann easily came out top of tho backs. Hallwood did not Lave a great deal to do, but he showed up well when the occasion demanded. Excitement was so great that at tho end of the glame there were several outbursts of pent-up I energy, but nothing serious occurred.

IVICTORY FOR LLANFAIRFECHAN…
I VICTORY FOR LLANFAIRFECHAN WEDNESDAYS. Wednesdays 2 Celts 1 On Wednesday, the Llanfairfechan Football Team entertained the Celts in a League encounter in the Brynyneuadd Park- There were several changes in the Llanfairfechan team fi-om the one which suffer-ed defeat the previous Wednesday from the Corinthians. Referee Meyer, Colwyn Bay, had charge of the game, and at 2.45 the whistle went, and thus commenced a hard-fought game. Llaiifair- fechaft, having lost the toss, were put to play against the wind, and from the kick-off they at once made tracks for the Celts' goal, but the backs removed the danger to midfield. Time after time the. Llan's left wing worked itself right up the field, but the final shot seemed weak, especially Evans', who, by way, is only a young lad of 14 years, !:ut is remarkably quick on the ball. This young player made rings round the Celts' right half, who was much older than his opponent. During the first half the Liana, placed the ball four times into the net, but three were disal- lowed for "offside." In my opinion, one of the three disallowed goals was a perfect legitimate I goal, because it came off the goalkeeper on to tho centre-forward, who put it in. When the whistle went for half-time the score read Llan- fairfechan Wednesdays 1, Llandudno Celts 0. I now thought we should ha.ve an exhibition of "shooting for goal" by the Wednesdays, they now having the wind with them, but such was not the case- Indeed, the Celts played as well now as at the beginning, but perseverance will tell, and from a run right down the field Evans centred, and Jones netted, quite simple you know. Shortly afterwards an incident which occurred altered the state of playing altogether. What had been a nico clean game turned to a cup-tie match. The hard fought game, therefore, ended with the score as follows: Llanfairfechan Wednesdays 2, Celts 1.
FRIENDLY MATCHES.
FRIENDLY MATCHES. ABERGELE COUNTY SCHOOL v. EPWORTH COLLEGE. RHYL. Abergele 4 Ep worth College 1 On Saturday, the Abergele C.S. were at home to Epworth College- Both scnools were fully represented, and a good game was anticipated. The home captain won the tose, and decided to face the breeze and the sun. The visitors started well, and after some twenty minutes' play their centre-forward broke away, and scored with a fast, ground shot- After this the home- sters showed themselves infinitely superior, espe- cially in defence, and before half-time E. Ro- berts and H. Hughes had scored a, goal each. The second half was opened with a rush by the home forwards, and in a few minutes R. Davies put his side further ahead with a low shot. The Epworth boys rallied, but the home defence proved too strong1 for them. Again amd again the visitors' goal was attacked, and their custodian brought off some remarkably- good saves- Shortly before time, Fred Griffith scored Abergele's fourth goal with a high shot, thus bringing, the score to four goals to one. The Epworth forwards were rather good at times, but they could not be effective, as they were backed up by a poor defence, with the exception of the goalkeeper. The Abergele team on the other hand, were well balanced, and had a strong defence; the half backs tackling remark- ably well.

Roberts, the Juniors' skipper, won the toss, and decided to play facing the sun. After little play between L. Williams and A. M. Williams, Roberts took the ball, and passed to W. Jones, who, with! a terrific shot, netted the ball. The Albions' forwards pressed, and II. Jones tested the Juniors' custodian, but with no result. The Albions preased very hard, but W. Roberts kicked the ball down. W. R. Jones transferred a long shot to J. W. Hug'hes, who passed J. Hughes, and shot over. Roberts had the ball after this, and passed to H. Gabriel, who, again passed to O. Jones, and the latter scored the second goal. The Albions now were working brilliantly, and were pressing very hard, and in a scuffle about two yards before the goal, the goalkeeper made a mistake, with the result that H. Jones netted the first goal for the Albions. Half-time was nearing, and Lemuel Williams sent in splendidly. Half-time was called with the result reading: Juniors, 2; Albions, 1. The last half was of an even character, the Albions pressing hard, but missing good changes at the goal. D. H. Jones took the ball and gave a shot to the Albions, but W. R. Jones cleared in nice s%!e, and C. Gabriel took the ball, and tested the custodian, who cleared. W. Roberts was now coming' to form, and delivered, many grand shots, but the Albion backs cleaTeVl. The Juniors' forwards were now looking sharp, and Bob Roberts from a good centre by O. Jones, sent in a crashing shot, which left the goalkeeper helpless. L. Williams passed W. Roberts, who checked him, and sent the ball to the Albions' goal, and' then a nice bit of combination was witnessed between W. Jones, Dob Roberts, and H. Gabriel. The latter sent in, and the last goal was eoored. The Albions were pressing very hard, but the Juniors' defence were too strong for them. Final score: Juniors, 4; Albions, 1.
COLWYN BAY CLIPPINGS.
COLWYN BAY CLIPPINGS. At last the Colwyn Bay-Denbigh cup-tie has been brought to a satisfactory termination, the Bayites proving the better team in Saturday's re-pi ay at Rhyl, to the tune of three goals to one. And none could safv that the victory was not deserved, for Colwyn Bay took advantage of every opening that presented itself. They never let an opportunity of shooting go abegging, and although the work in this department could have been improved upon, it was good enough to bring about three goals. Denbigh are to be commiserated with upon losing their left full back, J. S. Williams, early in the game. This left them with only ten men for the greater part of the game, and un- der the circumstances they played one back. In this way many openings which the Bayites made were checkcd by offside rule. To return to the placers, Hallwood in goal waai in fine trim, and with the exception of the shot that scored was equal to all demands made upon him. Several of his clearances were loudly and deservedly applauded. < < » < McCann was the best man on the field; he would not be beaten. Happily he waa well supported by Tonkin, who waa untiring. The halves were again on their best be- haviour, their recovery work being excellent. Wellings was the pick in defence and attack. "Neddy" held a "watching brief" for Berwyn, and right well did he carry out his part. Row- lands was ae usual a hard but unassuming worker it The forwards were out for goals, and played with grim determination. Roberts was again the first to score, and what a goal it was. Al- though Griffiths partly held it he was glad to let it go- Roberts throughout worked with a will, and the Bay committee can pride them- selves upon such a "find." < < Moss and Will Jones on the right wero always on the move, ajid their incursions into the ene- mies' territory always spelt danger.

BANGOR JOTTINGS. A new record in crowds was created at Ban- gor on Saturday, for the ground, which has been the scene of many a historic struggle, was never so packed before. » Without a doubt the better team won. The tactics of the winners were throughout superior, but they were decidedly unlucky before goal. < The Canaries, who brought with them a large foHowing, could not get going', and they certain- ly did not reproduce the form they showed against Bangor. » it W. G. Williams, the Beaus' right full, stood head and shoulders above the other defenders, and Sam Davies was also very good. « The "Beaus' intermediate line played finely. They worked like clockwork, Levi Jones being the most conspicuous. # » The front line could do clever things at times, the two outside men being as fleet as hares. Smedley put in good work, whilst the brothers Humphreya worked well. » • Richards, in goal, did marvellous work. For the Carnarvonitcs, the best men on the front line were the left wing and the inside right, the other two were completely off. The halves worked like Trojans, and all praise is due to them for their tackling and vigorous play. < Evan Hughes was rather shaky, whilst Albert Griffiths played a g'reat game until he was dis- abled in the second half. Then the Carnar- vonitcs' play dwindled. » » George H. Jones, in goal, played better than I have seen him on previous occasions. That saving of the first penalty made him a hero with the Carnarvon contingent.
