WILTSHIRES WIN THE PEMBROKESHIRE LEAGUE. By a handsome victory over the Pembroke Dock A.C. on Saturday, the Wiltshire Regi- ment have now placed themselves in an un- assailable position in the Pembrokeshire league and will now win it for the second year in succession. The match was played on the soldiers ground in glorious weather, and though on many occasions the soldiers have found the Docks a hard nut to crack, there was never the slightest doubt as to their superiority on Saturday, as the score of 5-0 pretty clearly indicates. This was rather surprising after some of the desperate struggles that have taken place on the Bush-street ground, but perhaps the changes in the visitors were partly re- sponsible for it, and also the fact that they were on foreign ground may have affected their play. Curious to relate, although they scored goals and had matters pretty much their own way the soldiers did not play such an attractive game as on the previous week. They seem to play their best game against a strong opposi- tion. On Saturday there were many pretty movements, and nearly all the goals were well earned, but somehow, after once they had got the lead, they seemed to play without that keenness, which is some times shown by them. If a man saw a chance to shoot, he had a shot. If he scored well and good, if he didn't, well that didn't matter much. Still as before stated there were some occasional sparkling effort. The defence of the backs was always superb, and Sheridan, though not so prominent as he sometimes is, worked very hard and was also very effective, in striking contrast to his vis-avis, Matthias, who also worked very hard, but did very little good. In fact all three of the Docks halves were hopelessly out- classed by their oppenents, Thomas being the only one who was any good at all. The Docks forwards too were very poor, and never seemed to get going properly. Now and then Silcox or Fielder would make a rush, but nearly always finished up by dropping the ball right on the toe of an opponent. Jenkins was hardly a success on the right, and wan held by Fortune all the time. At back Mason kicked well, but was rot quite so sound as usual, and Berry was only fair. Jones in goal was as good as ever, and could hardly be blamed for any of the goals scored. He had precious little chance with either of them. Now as to the goals. Three were scored in the first half and two in the second. The first one came after five minutes play. The soldiers right wing came down, and Berry only weakly cleared. The result was that Algar secured, and from about 18 yards range put in a grand shot which did the trick. The next one came from a corner on the left. Parsons placed nicely, and Algar, who is a demon on corner kicks neatly headed in. The third goal was practically Algar's also. He sent in a terrific shot which hit the post and rebounded. Grimes fastened on the ball, and sent back between the sticks. The fourth goal also came from Algar, and was scored from close quarters, and the fifth was notched by Grimes, after Jones had effected a splendid save from Morris. The teams were as follows:— Wiltshire Regiment.-L.-corpl. McCarragher; Capt. Henslow and Pte. Cheealey, backs; Corpl. Morris, Bandsman Sheridan and Pte. Fortune, halves; Seirgt. Waylers, Pte. Badminton, Pte. Algar, Corpl. Grimes, and Bandsman Parsons, forwards. P.D.A.C.—Jones, \goal; Mason and Berry, backs; Vaughan, Matthias and Thomas, halves; backg; Vaughan, Matthias and Thomas, halves; Jenkins, C. Silcox, Fielder, Russan, and L. Silcox, foiwards.
