Match Report
LOUGHBOROUGH AMATEURS v. CASTLE DONINGTON TOWN
Melton Mowbray Mercury and Oakham and Uppingham News, Thursday 16th April 1908.
Played at Kegworth before a good attendance. Loughborough won the toss, and the Dons opened in brilliant fashion, Brewin spoiling a good chance by offside. The Amateurs forced a corner, which proved fruitless, and later Reckless saved well from Poxon. Give and take play followed for some time, but at last the Dons right got down, and the Amateurs’ goal had many escapes. Withers centred well, and Hodgkin shot hard, but did not score.
Half-time:
NO SCORE
The second half opened with the Amateurs playing much the better game. The Dons backs had a hot time, but at length Poxon cleared with a big kick, and then the Dons in turn made the pace, and forced a corner which was placed outside. Soon after Withers missed by inches, and hands against the Amateurs spoiled an attack when the forwards were well placed. Play became more interesting, each team playing hard, and excitement ruled high as each goal had escapes. Brewin placed well, and the next minute Reckless brought off a brilliant save at the expense of a corner. From this Poxon centred beautifully, and Tunnicliffe opened the Dons scoring from among a crowd of players. This placed the Dons on their merits, and they rushed down again only to be repulsed in good style by Simmons. The Amateurs had another try, but after tricking the backs Chamberlain kicked over with an open goal at his command. There was no stopping the Dons now, and Poxon placed across for Withers to bang the ball into the net. The end came with the score:
CASTLE DONINGTON TOWN, two goals;
LOUGHBOROUGH AMATEURS, none.
