NEW FOOTBALL SEASON OPENS ON BRIGHT NOTE

SEVERAL TEAMS STRIKE

TIP-TOP

FORM

NINETEEN MATCHES PRODUCE 85

GOALS: FORWARDS IN FORM

A very bright note was struck at the opening of the new football sea- son during the week-end, several teams giving first-class displays, showing no signs of the usually typical beginning-of-the-season feeling.

Goals were cheap. Nineteen matches produced 85 goals, with visiting tearns more than holding their own. Military sides started off in highly promising man- ner. Fusiliers and Ulster Rifles both won first and second division encounters, while East Lancashires scored victories in the second and third divisions.

There was an evident spirit of goodwill and friendliness between the teams which added considerably to the enjoyment of the matches, and, it is to be hoped, will prove a happy augury for the remainder of the season.
