"Scoring was evidently the order, for on Accrington again getting up Prendergast again did the trick, George Haworth following with another directly afterwards."
*Birmingham Daily Post*
Monday, 2 December 1889
SATURDAY'S FOOTBALL.
THE LEAGUE.
ACCRINGTON v. ASTON VILLA.
These teams met at Accrington, before 3,000 spectators. Owing to the thaw of the previous day the ground was rather heavy going. Accrington played their usual team, while the Villa were without the services of Hunter.
Accrington won the toss, and Cowan kicked off. Soon Warner had a goal kick. Then a run by the Villa was stopped by being off-side. Accrington again took the running. They did a lot of pressing, and eventually Prendergast scored.
Almost immediately the Reds made another grand attempt, Warner saving just in time.
Allen and Hodgetts were playing well on the left, and from one of Allen's centres Cowan was allowed to score.
Allen scored again, Lindsay making a fearful mull.
Scoring was evidently the order, for on Accrington again getting up Prendergast again did the trick, George Haworth following with another directly afterwards.
Half-time : Accrington 3, Villa 2.
On resuming the Villa took a couple corners, and when Dickson should have scored with no one in front of him he sent the ball straight into Lindsay's hands, and, of course, that individual cleared.
Another corner came to the visitors, Devey shooting over.
Entwistle made a grand attempt at the other end, as did Wilkinson a little later.
The game continued, both sets forwards coming in for hearty cheers.
At the end of thirty minutes Entwistle again scored, and Accrington, pressing to the finish, won.
Score: Accrington 4, Villa 2.
