What they Said
"A regular scrimmage in goal occurred. Whitehouse saved and amidst tremendous excitement the game ended with the score Wolverhampton, 2 goals; Aston Villa, 1 goal."
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS V. ASTON VILLA
At Aston, in shocking weather, before 9,000 spectators, on heavy ground. Both teams played their full strength. The Villa kicked off against the wind. Wolverhampton attacked strongly, and Wood Scored.
Play was carried from end to end though accurate shooting was out of the question. The Villa pressed but Harris cleared nicely. Returning to the attack, Wheldon headed through from Athersmith’s centre.
Even play followed until half time.
Restarting, the Wolves attacked and the Villa retaliated. Fisher sent in a hot shot. Harris saved brilliantly, and Athersmith centred to Sharp, who failed to score a few yards from goal.
The Wolves raced away, and Cowan missed badly, and Wood scored.
A regular scrimmage in goal occurred. Whitehouse saved and amidst tremendous excitement the game ended with the score Wolverhampton, 2 goals; Aston Villa, 1 goal.
