SOUTHPORT’S ONE GOAL

.How Mold Might Have Forced a Draw.

Southport … 1 Mold … 0

Although Southport scored only one goal they were much superior to Mold, but the forwards threw away many chances, Oxley being several times at fault.

Half-way through the second half he and Sambrook changed places, and immediately Southport obtained the goal which decided the issue. Sambrook swung the ball out to Macdonald on the left wing, who sent in a centre for SAPSFORD to head through.

Mold were often dangerous when within shooting distance, and once H. Williams sent the ball right across the goalmouth with Halsall beaten, and a mere touch would have netted it. In fact, the fight they put up was a credit to them.

Southport: Halsall; Tyler, Glover; Sinclair (J.), Bellis, Little (J.); Davies, Sambrook, Oxley, Sapsford, and Macdonald.

Mold: Connell; Lewis (J.), Woodhouse; Williams (J.), Pendleton, Robinson; Bird, Richards, Williams (H. F.), Lyon, and Harrington.
