STOURBRIDGE STANDARD v. WANDERERS. - The
Wauderers successfully commenced the football
season last Saturday by defeating the Stourbridge
by 7 goals to 1. Nearly 200 people assembled to
witness the match, and although the scoring
seemed all on one side, the spectators were treated
to some really good play, only 2 goals being obtained
in the first half. lor the first match the home
team played in far better form than was expected
of them, scoring 3 goals in the last six minutes.
The passing of the forwards was at times very good,
, as was also the defensive game played by the backs.
The Stourbridge forwards played up well, but the
half-backs were rather slow, which, perhaps,
accounts for the long scoring of the Wanderers.
The gaols were obtained-3 by Cliff, 2 Hill, and
1 each Crighton and Cadman. Players: Standard:
Goal, A. Price ; back, D. Bennet; half-backs, C.
Green (captain) ; W. Noakes, E. Drew • forwards
