Treorchy Football Club. The Cardiff First Team paid Treorchy the oompliment of a. fixture on Wednes- day last, when the latter wound up the season. The match resulted in an eight- point victory for Cardiff, tries being scored by Birch and Reardon, and Mithan con- Yerting the former's try. Later in the evening, Treorchy enter- tained the Cardiffians to a banquet at the Treorchy Hotel, after which a meeting was held. Mr. W. H. Jones (cashier at the Aber- gorchy Collieries), who presided, referred to the incidents which characterised the Pontypridd v. Treorchy match early in the season, and which led to the suspen- sion of the Treorchy ground. What he wanted to point out was that those inci- dents were exaggerated, and as a public man he would say that the Press reports did Dot fairly represent what actually took place (hear, hear). P.S. Wm. Spiller (captain of the Car- diff team) presented certificates of merit to the Treorchy captain, Mr. Daly James. at the request, of the chairman. In the course of an address, Mr. Spiller con- gratulated the captain, and said he was glad that Rugby enthusiasts at Treorchy regarded ''their Daly" as an idol quite so much as the. Cardiff team regarded "their Bobby William*" la* an idol (cheers). He, for one, would be very pleased to arrange homo and home fix- tures with Treorchy as well as other teams, but there were substantial reasons for their refusal. The Cardiff team re- ceived applications galore from outside teams, and to accept them all would mean that their fixture list would carry them into two seasons without a break. As for the playing of the Treorchy team, he was proud to say none of the Cardiff team was ever afraid of visiting them. It was not within their knowledge that Treorchy played so roughly as was some- times assumed. He wished the Rhondda men every success (applause). Mr. Hart, a Cardiff committeeman, fol- lowed in a similar strain, and additional addresses were delivered by Mr. Mithan, Cardiff, amongst others. During the evening, an excellent musical programme was gone through. Among the contributors of solos were several members of the Cardiff team, and Messrs. David Evans (baritone). Will Evans (Treherbert). and Jack Granfield. Votes of thanks to the guests, artistes, chairman, host and hostess (Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Newman), and the accompanist (Mr. Dick "Walters) were enthusiastically ac- • corded before the close. The secretarial duties were discharged by Mr. Will Lewis, Ramah Cottages. I
