SOUTHPORT CENTRAL .EVERTON.

November 9, 1912. Evening Express Liverpool.

At Southport today, before a good gate. Everton opened, and after a few exchanges Uren ran and centred right in the goalmouth, for Wright to score. Central made a strong effort immediately after but the visitors defence repulsed them. Russell beat Gault when the latter looked like going though. Then Semple got off well on the home left, and beating Simpson centred to Stringfellow. Somebody stopped the shot with their hand and Russell equalised from the penalty kick. Central showed more of the game now, and kept Everton extended Uren and Gault were again prominent, but Central had become much keener, and the Everton goal was several times in jeopardy. Later Uren and Schofield were damaged, the latter having to be carried off. Wright missed a good chance of giving Everton the lead. Jones added a second goal for Central. Half-time Southport Central 2, Everton Res 1.

CENTRAL LEAGUE

The form of Everton Reserves, had been so unconvincing recently, and Southport had been doing so well that the latter had anticipations of beating the Blues. When they were leading at the interval there seemed a good prospect of their ambitions being realised, but afterwards Everton played a strong game, and finally won by 4-2. In the first few minutes Uren scrambled the ball through following a centre, but the Central obtained the lead from goals by Russell (penalty) and Jones. Afterwards Robinson and Gault (2) for the winners. Everton: – Bromilow, goal, Simpson, and Laurie, backs, McCulloch, Holbem, and Graham, half-backs, Chedgzoy, Robinson, Wright, Gault, and Uren, forwards.
