NORTHWOOD v AMERSHAM
This match was played at Northwood on Saturday, and resulted in
a win for Amersham by four goals to nil. Amersham won the toss,
and playing with the sun and wind in their favour, scored two
goals in quick time, and later on scored a third from a penalty
and crossed over leading by three goals. Northwood played a
splendid game in the second half, and it was only the repeated
kicking out of the Amersham backs that saved them.
The Amersham forwards did not give the Northwood defence much
trouble in this half, though they were able to score once more.
The following was the team:
Northwood – E. Price, goal; W.H. Brownbill and H. Green, backs;
A. Marks, R. Price-Williams, and E. Nichols, half-backs; A.
Price, Partridge, Hadd, Castle, and Brown, forwards.
The Northwood team made a very creditable show in this, their
first match, and after they have played together a few times, no
doubt they will be up to the level of the local clubs. They have
a very good man in Price, the goalkeeper, and the backs will no
doubt improve in another match or so, as they are both old to
the game.
The halves when they get in sympathy with their forwards will
make a very good trio, while the forwards, with a little
practice, promise to put in some useful work for the club during
the season.” |
