What they Said
"The brilliant combination displayed by Villa at this period of the game was a treat to witness."
ASTON VILLA v. WALSALL SWIFTS.
This match was played at Walsall on Saturday last, and plenty of excitement was the outcome of the draw, many believing that the Swifts, playing on their ground, would win the match; but the good form shown by the Villa in previous matches proved them be too good for anything in their own district, and this was evident by their win in the above-mentioned match by five goals to one.
In the first half of the game the Villa had considerably the best of play, and at half time the score stood one nothing in their favour; but on change of ends the superior combination of the Birmingham team was altogether too much for their opponents, and goal after goal was registered in quick succession.
Some changes were made in the Swifts' team, and this had an appreciable effect, but they could never cope with their clever antagonists, and the match resulted as above recorded.
All the Villa team played in first class style, Hunter performing magnificently. Jones was strong and powerful for the losing side.
