MATCHES. IRISH .JUNIOR CUP. 1st Round-a b,e. 2nd Round-beat R Welsh Fusiliers 2nd XI. by 2-1. 3rd Round-beat Church of Ireland 1.st five minutes the Black Watch forwards raised the siege, and. rushing down the field. sent in a shot which LeeR did not hold, and the Black Watch centre. forward again rushed the ball into the net. The ball was in mid-field when the whiRtJe blew, with the score-:-Black Watch, 3; H.!'.I., 1. The Rlack \Vatch certainly deserved their victory. They played with much more' dash than our team, who ~ee:m:d to be afraid to let themselyes go. Turning to mdlvldual players, Lees was not so safe in goal as usual; Ct>ldwell was the better of the two backs, Lambie not being eo steady as usual. The halyes all worked hard, and were th" best part of the team. The forwards were bad, the right wing never being very dangerous. M'Donald was disappointing, Lowrie and Bristow being t~e best of a poor line.. Our opponents were a very different team tc· that which play-ea at Cork the previous week. The forwards played with any amouut of dash, and the baeks and goalkeeper were very sound. ILL.I.-Lees; Sgt. Caldwell, Pte. Lambie; OpL Baillie, Bds. Stoddart. Pte. Johnson; Pte. Buchanan, Pt.e. l\1inney. Opt Bristow, L.-Cpl. I.owrie, Pt.e. l\f'Donald. IRISH ARlI-[Y CUP. THIRD ROUND. THERE was a very large attendance at Turner's Cross on Saturday, when the Highland Light Infantry and the Essex Regiment (stationed at 'the Curragh) lined out in the third round of the Irish Army Cup. The weather was fine and mild, and the w:ound, considering the recent rains, in good order. Teams;- Essex Regim.ent - Edmondstone. Darby, Smith,
HIGHI,AND LIGHT [NFANl'RY GIQf.ONICJ,l'; Poulton, Humh, Butcher, Copeland, Wilson. Wilkinson, Donnelly, Rust. Highland Light Infantry-Lees, Ca.ldwell, Lambie, Southworth, Btoddart, Joh1l1!On, }linnE'Y, Bailey, BriBtow, Lowrie, }['Donald . Re!eree-Sergt .. M:ajor COOpl'l', A.S.C. The Highland Light Infantry won the toss, and WilkinROn started for the Essex. Nice combination by Lowrie and M'Donald gave the H.L.I. an early opening, but the former player sent wide. Weak kioking by Darby again let the Scotchmen close in, and Bristow narrowly missed scoring. Poulton and Cope. land then combined well, .'\ free fol' h3nds giving their side a further advant..ge. Good spoiling work by the H.L.T.halves prevented the Essex forwards from getting past the half.way, and the two corners were forced by Bristow, but nothing resulted. Soon after Edmond· stone saved a terriblp drive frow Lowrie, and again ft'olll Rristow, the citadel having a narrow shave. 'rhc work which followed was of a bustling nf1.tllrc, until Rust sent across a beautiful cent.re which brought ].ees from his goal to save. At the other end xI'Donald sent in a good'shot to EdulOndstone, who was right.on the spot The Essex'luen now showerl an imjn'oveIllEmt, a.nd were getting th"ir share of the gamC!, Copeh\nd being at close qUat'ter~ when pull€d up for offside. On the left wing Rust worried SOllthwol'th into con. ceding a corner, and Donnelly missed by inches. Edmondstone then got knocked out in a melee in front of hiH goal, hut resumeri after 11 few minutes. Pla.y ruled fast, ,md was confined for some time to the Essex territory, Bristow putting in a few hard shots, none of which, however, beat Edmondstone. The Essex for. ward line were now playing much better, !md their headwork was loudly applauded by the spectators, Copeland being very conspicuous. HSl1ds against Darhy gave Lambie an opportunity of placing a nice centre, hut Smith relieVEd, and the Essex got going once more, until DonneUy fouled, and the baU wa!\.-{tga.iu sent into Edlllondstone's hands. Edmondstone now drew forth the plaudits of the crowd by SOllle extra clever work, and play Was quickly sent towards the H.L.I. citsdel. Ifulf·time thl'n arrived, when thc score sheet read-R.L.I., 0; 1tch goalkeeper made a ml>gnificent effort to. sftve it. The Black Wn.tch now played up despet'ately hard, and in the last five minutes Buccef'dE'd in scoring " 80ft goal. During the remaining few minutes of the game we managed to keep the Black Watch at bay. The finl>l result was-H.L.I.• 3; Black Watch, 2. On such Ih treacherous ground it is impossible to'criticise the plfl.yers to any extent. Lees kept a good goal, a.nd cannot be bla.med for the first goal when he slipped on the treacherous ground. The backs were very sound, and considering Lambie was suffering from an injury to his leg, caused early in the game, he played extraordinarily well. The h"lvel! were all good, and though they got rather knooked about they all stuck well to. their work. The forwards played well, and Bl'uce ma.de quite a good centre. Lowrie up to the time of his injury wa.s quite the hest of the front rank. None of the Black Watch, except the goalkeeper, can be mentioned favourably. ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. FINAL MUNSTER CUP.
