FOOTBALL. WREXHAM v. PLASMADOC —The return match between these clubs will be p ed this day (Satur- day), at 2 30 p.m., in Plasmad Park. A match was played on Sa 'day afternoon last between the Wrexham and I O on clubs, on the ground of the latter. The din -as beautifully fine and the ground in excellent order. The boundry was well defined by prettily painted flag posta. Ruabon won the tosc and choose the top goal- Wrexham then kicked off, and for the first half- hour the ball was well l:r in the vicinity of their opponents' goal. A cap shot was made by Mr E. Evans (Provincial) foi the Wrexham, the ball falling on the goal rope, and then through the goal. The Ruabon umpire was appealed to, and gave a goal for Wrexham. The Wrexham umpire (Mr Tomkins, Plasmadoc), also concurred in the decision. Several of the spectators, however-who. by the way, were rather numerous and fearfully noisy-stated that the ball had fallen over the rope- Some one or two of the Ruabon p/iayers also pro- tested against the umpires' decision, and refused to play any further unless the umpires ware changed. This was accordingly done and play resumed. At half-time, when ends were changed, the Ruabonitee made some dashing charges to recover the lost- goal, and all but succeeded but the excellent back play of Mr Ll. Kenrick soon tdd, and they were forced to fall back to defend their goal. Several sharp scrimmages now occurred, and the game was contested with much spirit on both sides, when, just before time was called, Mr G. F. Thomson succeeded very neatly in passing the ball through the Ruabon goal—thus scoring a second goal for Wrexham. The playing of Mr LI. Kenrick and Mr G. F. Thomson (for Wrexuam), and Mr H. Kenrick (for Ruabon), was really uinch admired. The following composed the Wrexham team:—Messrs. E. A. Cross, A. McDermott, L. Kenrick, G. F. Thomson, E. Evans (Alliance), E. Evans (Provin- cial). A. Davies, R. Mills, E. Capel Smith, H. Loxham, H. Cross, E. Kenny, and G. Jewitt.
