CLUB’S DIFFICUL'nES


mained in the lower [half of the table throughout the season, the standard of foot-, ball has been reasonable con­ sidering the club’s difficulties, particularly the low [playing strength, and Houghton, it will be remembered, was in­ jured in the home game with Leyland Motors In November and has not been available.


Though the team have re­


with a 1—0 defeat at Fleet- wood in August and won the following two games, but had tp wait 11 weeks for their next, which was at the expense of Morecambe; Only two more wins were recorded- before the end of 1949. New Year’s Day saw the team at Rossendale for a match which had to be abandoned because of a bliz­ zard, but the week afterwards they defeated Prescot; 5—1 to obtain one of their best two victories of the season, the other being a similar! result at Fleetwood’s expense; ia fort­ night later.


The team'began the season • [ HEAVY PROGRAMME
