ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. WORKSOP COLLEGE. Played at Home, Wednesday, March 1st. Result—St. Peter's School 2, Worksop 4. The School played very unconvincingly in losing to Worksop 4-2 after a goalless first half. By the interval, however, the School should have been well in the lead, but none of the inside forwards took his chances. The School opened brightly and swung the ball about before Worksop could settle down to the soft ground, but though their approach work was good, the forwards were very slow in the circle. Several times Brockbank was sent through between the backs only to be foiled by Bradshaw in goal, while Milburn and Cameron missed easy chances. The Worksop forwards were lively, and Stephenson and Belchamber cleared very slowly, and so the School goal, too, knew moments of stress, but no goals were forthcoming. In respect of goals, the second half was more interesting, for after the School had attacked with unsuccessful vigour, Knox, the Worksop outside left, dribbled through twice in quick succession and each time flicked the ball past Matthews. This lead was increased when Dudley shot a centre from Smith into the top of the net. The School rallied strongly after this; Andrew, Lynch and Steele distributed the ball well, and with a quarter-of-an-hour to go Cameron scored with a fast cross shot from the circle edge. Brockbank further reduced the lead after Graham and Cameron had interchanged positions on the right. With these successes the School hammered away at the defence, but Worksop broke clear and Matthews, in trying to save from Dudley, merely kicked the ball to the unchallenged Evans, who put the result beyond doubt. Had the School produced their second half display at the beginning, before Worksop had become accustomed to the pitch, they must surely have won. Team :—K. Matthews ; G. P. G. Stephenson, H. C. Belchamber ; P. A. Andrew, R. C. Lynch, F. F. Steele; T. F. Cameron, P. R. G. Graham, J. T. Brockbank, H. A. Milburn, L. W. Bennett. 52
