Lock has turned at last for the Cefn Co, 0 and their star was certainly in the ascesdant on this occasion. Sorry to relate Brynmawr's took was dead out. The game opened very evenly. Cooke was tested with a shot from Thomas, but cleared. The Cefn forwards opened up an attack, bat Williams and Jenkins were very safe. The game had been running Botne thirty-eight minutes when D M Thomas Bent in a centre, and all Cottrell bad to do was to touch it in. I think if Parry bad exerted himself, be could have saved. Just before half-time the same player sent in a ground Ibot which also found the net. Aldridge bad Very bard luck in not scoring the toalie fumbled the ball, but recovered in the nick of time and cleared. Half-time—Cefn Co. 2 goals; Brynmawr nil. The second half was not so fast as the first. Early on Llewelyn bad the misfortune to S6e his shot go just a little wide. Shortly after- Wards Edwards robbted Aldridge of a certain Roal by getting off side. From a scramble a Aard out, Lydford netted the third goal. Another ran by Brynmawr came to naught through Fowler lying off side. D M Tbomas next got down on the right and swung in a Rood centre, and Evans handling in the area Th- to°k aD<* ma^e 00 m'8ta^e- MB,'8 0D'^ g00^ goal tbe match. p0A/- Vent°'e to remark that had the goalie the °Q8e" about, be could have saved four o'f CW^U. Shortly before the whistle went mat u 8o°fed the fifth and last goal of the °0| Cefn winning by 6 goals to 0. BUILTH CO. v. YSTRADGYNLAIS CO.

Referee-Sergt Major C Green. Taylor won the toss and decided to play with h]B back to the sun. J L J Williams kicked and early on there was a pass between j^aviea and Main and back to the former, who cored with a high shot. The game was very &8t, the ball travelling from goal to goal with great rapidity. There was no further score in this half. Ystradgynlais missed several obanoes when well placed. Half-time—Builth Co. 1 goal, Yatradgynlais Cu. O. •The second h|lf opened with YstradgynlaiB P'essing, and the attack «A kept up for some l0Qe> R Price and Smith getting in a tremend- °8 amount of work. James only a couple of y *ds away from goal, and when well plaoed, mir>86<* kick' Pattiog wide of the post. A J.0** of two from time Miller and Mason in a°8 to °*8ftr» the ball went to Steer, who pot P'pss shot between the backs, completely hek^IVlQ3 the goalie, who thought it was going nind.

Brynmawr—Goal, Fowler baoks, Jenkins Williams (Butler) halves, E Prosser, D J Davies and A Prosser forwards, Edwards (Tweedle'um), Thomas, Aldridge, Llewellyn ana Bennet. Referee—Sergt-Major C Green. The previous match ended in a draw of no Roals. It was expected that Ystradgynlais Would improve their goal average on this occasion and it looked as though this wish was going to be fulfilled. Both teams have improved immensely sinoe the commencement of the season, and considering the numbers Who understand or participate in the Soccer galne in these companies, their performances Ire very creditable. Brynmawr are very nnfortunate in not being able to get hold of a fiafe goalie, otherwise tbeir team is cot at all a bad one they are full of grit and are firm believers in pegging away until the whistle Bounds. Aldridge makes a good skipper and Beeps his men well in hand. Ystradgynlais Co., coming from the Swansea Valley, knew keeps his men well in hand. Ystradgynlais Co., coming from the Swansea Valley, knew more of the game than their opponents, and when they came out brought some very I promising juniors in their ranks. A Davies, an old exponent of the Rugby code, makes an excellent goalie, very quick and fairly safe. Bevan is a good centre, but usually forgets he has Bome good wing men in Ratcliffe and Edwards. Taylor's hands are always pretty full in handling his eleven. He, himself, is quite a good hardworking half who never Beetos to tire. The first half was hotiy con- tested, both goals having very narrow escapes. Bevan got in a run and easily beat Fowler, who seetaed afraid to handle. The same player receiving from Dixie, Davies scored another easy goal, a just before the interval Bevan registered the third goal, the ball I glancing off the goalie into the net. Half-time score-ystradgyniais Co. 3 goals, Brynmawr Co. 0. The second half was easily Brynmawr's. Tbey pressed continually, but Davies, playiDg a good game in goalfekept them out for some time. Bennet ewncp the ball well forward and Aldridge and Thomas raced for the leather, the latter getting to it before Davies | coold gather and clear. Another goal came K. shortly after in much th^same way as the H preceding one, the ball o&ing from tbe left
