Buntingford & District League

Champions v. The Rest

Presentation of the Cup and Medals by Mr H.C. Marshall

Odsey, the champions of the Buntingford & District League, met a team drawn from "The Rest," on the town ground on Saturday last.

There was a crowd of about 200 present, when the teams lined up under Mr F.J. Camp. The Odsey players soon showed aggressive tactics, and from a run on the right wing a goal resulted.

At times play was very interesting, but the champions, who showed good combination throughout, were always the better team, and deserved to win.

Final score - Odsey 8, The Rest 4.

PRESENTATION OF CUP & MEDALS

In presenting the handsome cup to the Odsey captain, Mr H.C. Marshall said he congratulated the team on their success. He noted that the Cup had not been won for two years in succession by any team, and while he congratulated the winners on their success, he could not express the wish that they would win the trophy again next year.

The Odsey captain replied, and said the team were proud to have won the Cup; he was sure they would do their best to win it next year.

Mr E.E. Dennis, on behalf of the teams and the League, thanked Mr Marshall for making the presentation, the Football Club for the use of the ground, Mr Nichols and Mr H. Clarke for acting as stewards, and Mr F. Camp and the linesmen.

Cheers were then given, after which the two teams and the officials were entertained to tea.
