PARISH CHURCH v. RROCKHALL. This friendly match, played at .Water-


l6o last Saturday, provided plenty of eritertalnment for the comparatively few spectators who assembled. Brockhall roved to be I an attractive side, showing' fine understandlrig of the game. Indeed


sbme of their movements were executed ill that approved ana Impressive style Mich one may only expect from a long- istabl'lshed team. It must have been a-


source of great encouragement, to their dfflclals to see the newly-recruited men displaying such promise.


While the Parish Church team won by


four' goals to two, there were periods In: th'e game when they were fully extended, find If the Brockhall defenders had been- to' sound- as the forwards, the result might have been reversed, -i


i Dawson-opened the home side’s, score When he directed a- hard drive against; the bar, from;which the ball rebounded Into the net.’ But It.was notlong before; the-visltors drew level through Hesmond- halgh, the former Clltheroe;and Darwen Mayer, and half-time arrived with;the jjally.equal. ;


1 Early In the second period Bates out- ■wltted the Brockhall keeper, who, by the way, had iiiide many fine saves; Here- ibouts the ball bounced awkwardly., A ihlrd-goal came to Dawson- Then Hes-. inondhalgh got through a second time to Shakethe'-rlgglng wlth a great shot. It was Bates who made the Issuk" secure for ihe home side with a ground shot.


-iBrockhall; were served well by-their goalkeeper, Parkinson, Hayton, Howarth, and .Hesmondhalgh. The Parish Church dfefence was [generally sound, with Bates,.
