Bristol Mercury: Monday 15th January 1894

YEOVIL v. AXMINSTER: Played on the West Hendford Ground, Yeovil, on Saturday, in splendid weather. Yeovil started the ball down the hill and immediately began to press, but the backs were equal to the occasion and by a determined rush play was transferred to the Yeovil 25. It was here kept for some time, but Passmore securing, he raced over the line and scored in the It corner. The place kick failed. Nothing further was scored up to half-time. On changing over, Yeovil tried hard to equalize but their efforts were not successful. At last Godfrey picked up in his own 25, and raced all down the slope, scoring the second try for the visitors, the place kick-a hard one-was a failure. Play was of a give and take character for the rest of the game, and, no further point being scored, Axminster left the field victorious by two tries (six points) to nil. The teams were: Yeovil-Back, F. Allen; three-quarter.backs, F. Walters, Gaylard, J. Carwood, and Hoare; halfbacks, J. Hutchings and McEnery; forwards, Pittard, J. Welch, Flower, G. Seabright, Turner, Whensley, Braine, and Farrant.  Axminster: Back, Pinsent; three-quarter backs, C. Gerrish, T. Watkins, W. Godfrey and Passmore, half-backs, Gunnell and Tapscott; forwards, Reatrick, Cummings, Bucknell, Rebjons, J. Hayman, A. Taylor, J. Denning and Mitchell. Referee: Dr. Kingston, Linesmen: Messrs. Chapman (Yeovil) and Moss (Axminster).
