Match Trivia
These clubs met at Powerhall Ground on Saturday when the Rangers managed to assert their superiority by defeating the Edinburgh team by five goals to one. Since the last meeting of the clubs in Glasgow at the opening of the season when the result was a draw, the St Bernard’s have suffered greatly by the desertion of their men chiefly to England, no fewer than six of the original team having left their ranks and gone elsewhere. Notwithstanding this dishearting circumstance the club has pluckily held on its way and by filling the vacancies by promoting smart youngsters from the second eleven has maintained a first rate position amongst the Edinburgh teams. On Saturday a slackness shown by the St Bernard’s forwards gave the Rangers an opportunity of using their capital speed and smart passing to excellent effect, and ere the conclusion of the first half they had succeeded in notching three goals to their credit, the first being scored by McKenzie, the second by Ross on of the St Bernard’s forwards and the third by Peacock. In the second half the St barnyards introduced more dash into their play and gave the Glasgow men a considerable amount of trouble, especially during the last half hour, when Barker was frequently called upon to save his charge. The Rangers were however, the first to score, McKenzie by a long shot from the right crediting his team with the fourth goal obtained by them – Wright at last finding an opening from the centre after several ineffectual attempts; and then Cook brought the scoring to a close by getting the ball past Baillie for the fifth time. The winners on the whole worked well together, playing with a dash that at times completely nonplussed the St Barnyards – McHardy, Pringle, Peacock, McKenzie and Lafferty, although the last mentioned was a trifle coarse, especially distinguishing themselves; while Barker in the second half did his club excellent service. The St Bernard’s forwards on the other hand displayed a want of spirit and combination; and had it not been for the smart work of and the back team the defeat would have been much greater. Baillie at goal found plenty of work to do and did some very clever things, Heathcote, Gair and Guild worked well together; and little Hutton astonished some of the Glasgow men by the pluck and vigour he infused into his play.
