TO-DAY’S FOOTBALL. At South Devon Place, to-day before a fair attendance. The Wednesday had the incline in their favour, but the opening game was slow until Harvey ran to the Argaum end. Here play was opened, but Vosper and Ledington cleared and there was a keen struggle at the centre. It was then slow work for a time, but a capital move by Wednesday saw Morris clear, and Gullet scored an unconverted try in the corner.
The Devonporters held the upper hand for a long time, but Ledington’s knowledge of soccer came in handy, a couple of flying kicks driving Wednesday out to the centre. Here Collett marked, and the return being weak the game was taken to Argaum goal line. Vosper tried to relieve, but his kick was charged, and The Devonporters went over for a second unconverted try. Argaum after this did well, but Bryant passed forward. Argaum improved in their play, their backs finding touch cleverly and Vosper was nearly over. Bryant handled just after, and being unmarked, went over by the side of the post, but Vosper failed at an easy place. Play favoured Argaum and Vosper, easily tricking half a dozen opponents, picked up in the loose and scored in the corner, and the kick failing, the teams were on an equality at half time.
Half Time Devonport Wednesday, 2 tries. Plymouth Argaum, 2 tries.
RESULT : Plymouth Argaum 1 goal 3 tries. Devonport Wednesday, 2 tries.
