I Sporting Gossip I I LLANELLY v. TON PENTRE. I I Scarlets Start Well. I I Two thousand spectators witnessed a good game at Ton Pentre on Saturday, and after a keen struggle neither team succeeded in finding the net. The "Sos- pans" deserve the congratulations of all local sportsmen for their excellent per- formance in bringing away from the Rhondda that coveted point. Ton Pentre, like all teams have a reputation for something or other, and it has been their proud boast that they are the "toughest nut in Wales to crack on their own ground." Assisted by a number of star men they tried conclusions with the Sos- panites in the Southern League competi- tion, and were confident of success. At the last moment a change had to be made in the front line of the Scarlets owing to the inability of Crisp, an amateur who hails from Llanidloes, to play. This necessitated the introduction of an amateur named Jimmy Jones to occupy the position on the left wing, and he fully justified the confidence reposed in him. Lost Tempers v Towards the end of the game the Ton Pentre men were rather disappointed (to say the least of it) in failing to beat the "Sospans," and unfortunately some of them lost their tempers. Had it not been for the use of the "iron hand" by the referee (Mr. Batty) the consequences might have been serious. Such a display of lack of self-control is regrettable and it speaks volumes for the sportsmanship of the Ton men. Perhaps it would be wise to leave the matter drop at that. Luck I A writer in a daily who witnessed the match states that Ton Pentre would have won the match were they lucky. He also admits that Llanelly were decidedly un- I' lucky in not scoring on many occasions. I venture to ask my friend what would have happened if Llanelly were lucky ? Return Match to-day. At Halfway this afternoon the return match will be played, and I trust that the feeling which existed in Ton Pentre will not be repeated. Ton Pentre have only themselves to blame for it, and I am sure I shall be voicing the sentiments of all local sportsmen when stating "Let the best team win." It is to be hoped that there will be a record gate to assist the directors in re- ducing that bugbear of a debt. Chepstow v. Llanelly. Chepstow will be the visitors at Half- way en Tuesday, under the Welsh League. This will he the opening match for the Scarlets in the Welsh tourney and their progress in this competition will be followed with interest. In the season 1913-14, they proved the cham- pions of the league, and I feel quite optimistic as to their chances this sea- son. Anyhow time will tell.
