FOOTBALL
BUCKS JUNIOR LEAGUE
STANTONBURY OLD BOYS v. COSGROVE ST. PETERS.

This match was played in the Red Bridge field at Stantonbury on Saturday, November 4, and resulted in a win for Cosgrove by 5 goals 2. Cosgrove won the toss and kicked towards the bridge end with the wind in their favour. Forcing the game they were soon one up, J. Brown scoring after Payne had saved from Bugby. This encouraged the visitors who continued to play with much vigour and dash, and after Childs put on a second goal the Old Boys’ left then got away but Foster’s shot went outside, and Ash with the goal kick, sent well up the field, which led to Brown putting on the third for Cosgrove. Prior to the interval the visitors scored a couple more through Brown and Bugby, and at half-time they were leading by 5 goals to nil. Upon the restart the Old Boys’ right wing broke away and Green scored a splendid goal with Ash well beaten, this being their first goal on their own ground this season. The homesters now attacked vigorously and for quite 30 minutes Cosgrove had to act on the defensive. St. Peters got away on the left but Harvey put a stop to their movements, and then Brooks put on a second goal for the Old Boys. Play was very fast towards the end and for the Old Boys green put on a third but the whistle had gone for a foul on Sergeant. Nothing resulted from the free kick. The Old Boys made many bold efforts to reduce their opponents’ lead but were unsuccessful and the end came with Cosgrove winners by 5 goals to 2. The teams lined up as follows under Mr. Edwards of Stony Stratford:,
Old Boys: Payne; Gacoyne and Bellchamber, Hooton, Turnley, Harvey, Green, Fincher, Brooks, Sergeant and Foster.

Cosgrove: Ash H. Jelley and ...ey, Tapp, W. Brown, Tack, Lambert, Bugby, J. Brown, Childs and Basson.
