What they Said
ASTON VILLA, v. WEDNESBURY OLD ATHLETIC.
These teams played a very fast match on the Oval, Wood green, Wednesbury, on Saturday. The ground was heavy, but there was no wind. Within five minutes of the kick off G. Holden scored for the Athletics, at this was presently supplemented by another from the toe of Bayliss.
Matters looked rosy for the Athletics, but they failed to maintain their advantage, as Archie Hunter and Brown both added goals, making the game equal.
Just before half-time Bayliss scored again for the home team, making the score three to two.
Immediately on resuming a finely combined rush of the Villa forwards ended with Hunter scoring, again making matters equal, an equality which was spoilt by T. Tonks, who added another for the Athletics, making the game four to three.
From this point the Athletics appeared beaten, and Hunter had little difficulty in adding a fourth goal for the Villa.
Vaughton added a fifth for the Birmingham men, a sixth was muffed by the Athletic goal-keeper, and Whateley scored a seventh.
The Villa thus won by seven goals to four.
