From what has come to light, it appears that the strong Pembroke Wanderers second eleven put in one of the outstanding performances of the day defeating Weston 1      (4-1),

Wally Lee netting twice and the other goals came from T. Watson and B. Huet who played a captains part at inside-left.  Also in top form was goalkeeper Rothwell.

Last Saturdays results in the Middle League 'A' have left that competition in a very interesting state.

The four top teams clashed in two ties and in each case the result was a draw.   Lorraine now lead with 8 points from six matches with Pembroke Wanderers 2, YMCA 2 and Weston 1 all having 7 points from four, five and six matches respectively.   With matters in such a state, it was all the more unsatisfactory that the last two named, YMCA 2 and Weston 1 should have run into that consistant plague

"Umpire Trouble".

Though the start of their game at Weston was delayed for almost half and hour, despite the fact there was another game scheduled to follow it, there was still no official Umpire present when it finally got under way.   One did arrive shortly before the interval, but that was all, and the Home Club was forced to supply two of its own members to officiate.   Under the circumstances counted themselves fortunate to have shared the precious points.

They led 1-0 and 2-1 with YMCA equalising first through Roy who scored with a beautiful reverse stick drive and then through Ronnie Walsh.   Just before Weston had got their second goal, Farrar, worked his way past the whole defence including the goalkeeper and when he was taken down with only an empty net facing him a penalty bully seemed clearly indicated instead a short corner was awarded.

Another team to suffer its first reverse in the Intermediate 'A' was Newtimes 2 beaten 2-0 by Weston 2 and Pembroke Wanderers 3 (Smithson, Moody) defeating YMCA 2-1.   An interesting tussle has developed also in this section.   Newtimes and Pembroke Wanderers after seven matches and Weston after eight have now each gathered 11 points.

-------------------------------------------

Newtimes 2 lost another valuable point in the Intermediate 'A' in a scoreless draw against Lorraine.   They still lead with 12 points from 8 games but their most dangerous challengers Pembroke Wanderers 3 are now only a point behind with a match less played with Weston on the same mark after 8 outings.

A real shock in the Intermediate League 'A' was provided by Monkstown 3 who travelled to Weston and defeated the Home side's  second string by 3-1 thus helping the challenges of Newtimes 2 and Pembroke Wanderers 3 who have 13 and 12 points respectively from their 8 matches.   Weston 2 have 11 points from 9 matches.

Irish Junior Cup 2nd Rd Weston 1 (6)            Avoca 2 (2)

 

A good number of cup matches were decided on Saturday, those in the Irish Junior Cup all being decided by narrow margins with the exception of that between Weston 1 and Avoca 2, the former advancing to the 3rd Round with a 6-2 victory.   The winners inside-forwards Birnie, Duke and O'Hare were chiefly responsible for the big total and were well supported in the second half by a great display on the part of left-half  R. Cunningham.    O'Hare (3), Duke, Madigan and Cunningham were the Weston marksmen.

In the Middle League the most notable victory was achieved by Pembroke Wanderers 2 who had a 4-1 win over one to their closest rivals in Division 'A', Weston 1.   The strong Pembroke side only really got going in the second half though they led 2-1 at the interval.

In the Irish Junior Cup Weston and Air Corps drew 1-1 in the third round, also, after two periods of extra time.

Lorraine 2 reached the final of the Intermediate Cup for the second year in succession with a good 3-1 win over Weston 2.   Two goals were shared in the first-half, Pat Lawless having benefitted from good work by Peter Murphy to put Lorraine ahead after five minutes and Louis Eiffe equalising for Weston.   Danny Condron whose experience has had quite a bit to do with Lorraine's success took a pass from Jimmy Clarke to give them the lead again but once more Louis Eiffe from a penalty bully put Weston back in the game.   When it seemd as if extra time might be necessary, Paddy Daly connected with a rasping drive to the net and there was little time for a comeback by Weston.
