Jottings
The Easter programme of "soc- cer" matches as originally arrang- ed, is, owing to last minute even- fualities very much changed and it is quite probable that there will be no Senior League matches on Good Friday, although originally two were arranged. These matches will probably be put forward to an advanced date In April (mid- week), and with all Clubs having arrears of fixtures to make up April promises to be a very hectic time for cur players all round.
