Western Times: Tuesday 25th November 1890

Football Gossip [By Forward]: … Ford, the Newton second XV back, who has played several times for the first team, is very useful in returning and with practice should develop into a safe custodian. J. Scagell is as ubiquitous as ever and never seems to tire. He was always on the ball, and did not throw away a chance. Chappell was the best of the halfs, and the forwards with their extra weight were able to monopolise the possession of the ball. Several of them require to read-up-on the rules on off side play. They should have been penalised several times on Saturday for not keeping outside the five yards’ limit. Ball appears to be better than ever this season, and the County Committee have been guilty of an omission in not giving him a place in the Possibles’ team. Pinsent, the College back, was fairly safe, but tackled too low. Wollen was the best of the three-quarters, Windsor being somewhat nervous when possession of the ball, whilst Stork did not judge his passing accurately. Hammond and Light, especially the latter, were very useful at halfback, and of the forwards O’Neill and Butland were the most prominent. The chief fault of the front division was that of packing, they locked too lightly, and the result was when the ball came out they lost time in getting away. With a heavy lot of opponents they should make the game as open as possible. They were seen at their best in the loose.
