HIGHLAND LIGHT INFANTRY CHRONICLE. \v~s ehor~ou~. and evide~.ces' of deep interest in the ga/lle wer.emanifest,from,the start., The'teams"';'the Highland'Light Infantry 4nd Welsh Fusiliers-have had a very good record, and are well qualified to givelJ.1l excellerlt exposition of the game. The game was, :indeed" worthy of the competing elevens and,9f ,t\le. important competition,it concluded. and on 'fb.e~wholtf it was.up}o the high expectations which it .arou~ed' ~n i).l!lticIPll'tlOn. The weather was ideal,' the ,arrangements' good, and the sod in excellent condition. l'~e Highla.nders p~yed with greater combination in tne first half; and dIvided the play pretty evenly with ,t4eir mo:t:e vigorous and ,dashing opponents; but in the ,s~(lQlld period the ~uperiority of the Welshmen was asserted, and left theJ;ll winners on the score as well as ,oit: flle play. It .should be mentioned. how;ever, that ,two of line l£ighlanders'got injured in ,the recent match in,Limerick., , Tlj.e' following were, the teams;- . . "Highland L,igld In!a:r~try:, Lees, Caldwell, LaIIlbje. B!lillie" Stjlddart. Johnson• .Brilltow, Bmcc, Lawrie. G. Taiti M'DQnald. . Royal.Weuk, F1!IJiUer,~; Fisher,Davis, Blacktin, ,Reeves, Wilson, J: :Au.f:ltin, Davis, Vann, Owens, 'R Austin, 'Buxton• .Referee; Mr. E, E.' Burgess., £':itesmen:. Messrs. M'OSS and O'Callaghan; , Play~ just after the start, was slightly' in fa\"our 0 f .the Highlanders. Bristow made an opening w.qirih 'lookf!d threa.tening, until Davis nipped iQ and sent to ,hlii: field. MooDonald soon af,terwArds' received from Bru,iJe, and sent.in a splendid kick, but Fisher, who was on the alert, eased thepressnre 'by a good high kick. Blacktin and Dav:is were soon afterWards protllinent in a couple of good saves,but the Highlanders kept up the attack until Blacktin, who was hard pressed on the defensive, had to concede a corner.: The 'kick was taken by Macnonald, but though it was landed in a neat position nothing material j'esulted from it. The con· spicuous feature of the succeeding bout of play was a rU.shof the Welsh forwards, subsequent to a long loose kick from Davis. Austin and Buxton outmarioouVI'ed' the opposing forward line, but their attempt to bring, off a score ciuminated in the ball going dead: Caldwell soon afterwards put his forward line in motion, after a neat bit of play, but Blacktin 'brought relief, and in a short space of time D. Davis ~entred neatly, but Lambie saved the situation, and put his side again attacking. navis nndBlacktin answered this fresh 'and somewhat vigorous demand ]n capital style, and play was taken to t·he opposite end. 'Lees. who was hard pressed, saved effectively on one :occasion, but on a renewal of the attack he had to concede a corner. The kick from goal was the prelude for a Hi/l:hland rush, which was inaugurMed by CaldweIl, but Austin checked it, and temporarily ehanged the 'tenor of pJay. Owens had a good opening, but he was ruled offside, and the Highlanders again became aggres. sive. Blacktin tried to bring off onc of his /l:iant kicks, but in the effort he penalised his side. M'Donald took ilie kick, but the de~ence was good. Bristow tried to pierce it with a low shot, and Fisher brought off a grand save at the expense of a corner. Stoddart and Baillie were prominent in the next rush of the H.L.I., but it did not reSult in much, as Reeves nipped in and transferred play sharply IIp. D. Davis centred, and Owens, smartly intercepting, sent towards the net, ,hut CaldweIl saved with a peautiful screw kick. The Scotchmen now worked down to the. W'elsh posts, but J. Austin sent them back and passed to Buxton, who 'centred. There was a nice combined movement now on'the part of the Welsh, but ju~t as 'it seemed most 'perilous Lambie nipped in a~d brought .relief to' his side. Owens penalised the Welshmen in an unfavour . able position, but the kiok Ivas resultless. The Welsh· men, however" playing with grelOtdash, brought play to the Scotch posts, and Lees, in an attempt to save, stumbled. Lambie. however, d&shed in and effected a grand clearance. The Fusiliers resumed the attack, and ,Reeves, getting the ball near the Ilide .line, brought ij; along quiokly. aud scored a beautiful goal. The kick out WIIS the signal for another Highland attack, but Tait was slow in taking his pass, and the leather went dead. A corner w.as soon afterwards given, against the Welsh, but ,it was as, resnltle,ss as its predecessors. Bristow, however, had a. shot at goal. but Fisher cleared. ,1'he latter was again pressed and beaten .for possession, but Austin Was responsible for a lucky ,olearance. The attack on the Welsh posts was again forced" but Fishor, was equal to ,every demand. Play ,was pretty ,even ,00 within a couple of minutes of half· time, until Owensgot going, when Caldwell. stOpping 11 'dangerous movement, screw· kick.ed and gJ\ve a corner. The. whistle sounded just as ilie .kiok wa~ given, and left the' score:_ , . , Royal Welsh Fusiliers, I ;' Highland LightInfantry, O. , The flriwreature ofi,nterest in 'the second period was 1\ neat sa.ve 'by Lambie, who arrested a dangerous move· ment'of OwellS within the penalty area and kicked up the field. Davis quickly replied and the Scotch lines were attacked. Vann, however, kicked dead. Cald· well now gave an opening to his side, and Bristow and Bruce were prominent in attack. Davis penalised the Welshmen, but the free was 'without result. The Fusiliers were now playing with greater dash, and they kept up a brief siege of the Highland pclsts. Lambie relieved it and made his side aggressive. Tait out. manoouvred D. Davis and centred, but M'.Donald, who had an easy score within his reach, sent over. Black. tin's kick from goal eased the pressure only temporarily, for the Highlanders again bombarded the Welsh posts. One of Blacktin's marvellous kicks, however, effectively changed the venue' of play. Lees was called upon to save on a couple of occasions, as the result of the attacks initiated by Vann and Buxton, but his defence was sound. Thanks to Caldwell, the game. wa~ worked up again, and MacDonald foiled Blacktin, and looked like scoring, until Austin shot across and kicked into touch. The Highlanders pressed after the throw. in, but Lowrie spoiled his chance and kicked wide, Play was now of a /l:ive.and.take cliaracter, both sides showing up alternately in loose rushes. Excitement ran high when Buxton centred, and Owens, taking up the running, bCl~t Lambie for possession, and had the ball right in front of him, but he fisted the ball and lost a score. Immediately after the kick from goal the Welsh. men put their opponents on tbe defen8ive. Lambie cleared and the Highlanders recovered in spleudid style, transferring the play to the We18h side, where they made desperate attempts to equalise. For a space of about three minutes play lingered within the Wel..h area, and time after time Fisher had to try and clt'
HlGHLkNDLlGHT: .INFAN1'IW' CHRONICLE. 65 IRISH JUNIOR CUP.-]'OURTHROIJND. H.L.I. RESERVES V. RAIl.WAY AND STllAMPACKRT UNION. THRSE teams met in the Camp Field on Saturday in the fourt·h rOlmd ,of the above competitioIt. H.L.I. won the toss, and, started against the incline. Directly ·After the start the visitors got away and Maineyopened the score with a nice drooping shot. Some even play · followed in midfield, and the R8.P. forwards again 'attaeked, and ROlloCh sent in a nice cent,re, which ena.bledDuffey to get a second goal. Give·and-ta.ke play ruled· for some time, and the H.L.I. made' great 'efforts to score, but the visitors' hacks wl,)re very sound. However, the home team were not to be denied, and ,Robertilon beat Barry with a long drooping shot. The Highlanders continued to press, and before the interval Cook equalised after some fine combined play. Half· .time score:- . RS.P.U., 2; H.L.I.,2. In the second half the home team were quickly on the aggressive, and eventually from a corner Bruce put · them one up with a header. The play was very vigorous and the RS.P. front line now got going; the inside left, who was playing a great game, brought off a nice dribble, but their combination was poor, a.nd no ,BC!ore resulted. The Highkmders were now having the best of the pla.y, a.nd bombarded the visit{)rs' goal with · A series of long shots, butwitho,lt result, and: the final whistle came leaving the H.L.I. victorious on the score: H.L.I.

FRANKFORT. · Tms mateh was played on the Glasnevi~ Ground, Dublin. We had to undertake a very long Journey to Dublin on the 31st December to play Frankfort on New Year's Day. . The game commenced sha.rp at 2.30 p.m. We won '·the toss, and elected to play against a very strong wind. · The play in the first half was mostly confined to our half of the field, but thanks to a capable defence we ·~ssed over with the score·sheet blank-a very good performance, consitlering the conditions. · The wind did not seem to aid our team very much. as the half·backs kieked far too hard, and the ball was very often over the goal-line. Time was fas~ approach. ing. and just when everybody was expectmg a draw Smith got the ball near midfield. and, running right through, scored with a good shot, leaving us winners by the odd goal. We must thank our defence for saving the 8,ituation and carrying us into the seventh round. SEVENTH ROUND. CEI,TIO S1;'ROLLERS v. H.L.I. (RESEJl.VEs). 'THESE teams met at the ~mp Field to.day in the Seventh Round Irish Junior Cup in unfavourable weather. The visitors pressed at the start, but offside ·spoiled. The Highlanders then attac.k~d, but the defenCe was good. Strollers were combmmg well, and ,a high kipk by one of their forwards w;as bloWn into the ,goal for the opening score. The home team made severai good efforts, but were repeatedly penalised for offside. Highlanders got away, and Steele saved a good shot by Smith. Soon. after, .the visitors ha.- a nice. movement, which culmInated m, Weldon scoring. Before, the 'interval a" free" in favour of Highla.nders enabled Sonthworth to send in for a: goal.. . In the second half the home team had the best of the play, and kept up a continued pressure, b~l~ witho.ut result, and full·time came leaving the. vlBltors VIC· torious on· the score- Celtic StrolIers, 2;, H.L.I.
