What they Said
"The Villa men showed conspicuously, the forward division playing very well."
ACCRINGTON v. ASTON VILLA.
Played at Accrington.
The Villa pressed immediately, and in five minutes they scored out of a loose scrimmage.
McKnight sent in a splendid shot, which fell a few inches wide, and Prendergast nearly scored for Accrington.
Warner several times lifted out easily.
McKnight was kicked, and play was stopped for a time.
The Villa men showed conspicuously, the forward division playing very well.
The Villa backs missed a chance, and enabled Kirkham to equalise after twenty minutes' play.
Another scrimmage nearly ended in favour of the Villa, but the Accrington right-wing frequently shot into the Villa custodian's hands.
Time after time Hodgetts made splendid runs, and shot just over the bar.
Cox saved twice admirably, and with long kicks passing the ball high over the Accrington left wing.
Half-time: Villa 1 goal, Accrington 1.
When play was resumed Dickson shot a second goal within two minutes.
Evans's defence was much admired, and he saved Warner a good deal of work.
L. Campbell made two or three grand runs and 'shots, but was unfortunate with his corner kicks.
Burton and Dickson then ran up the right-wing, and the third goal was registered.
Result: Villa 3, Accrington 1.
