MATCH REPORT - GOLDERS GREEN 4, LONDON CALEDONIANS 0.
A blinding snowstorm spoilt much of the play at Claremont Road, but Golders Green proved themselves the better team and, after leading by one goal almost throughout the game, romped home with a 4-0 victory in the closing minutes. The Golders Green forwards, with A.J. Breagan and J.H. Browne at inside-right and left respectively, showed considerable resource, though it was again necessary to experiment for a time with Leahy in the centre, Stovell moving to the right wing. Breagan and F. Boston were the best of the forwards; Browne did quite good work, but was not always neat enough in his play. The wing halves, Ward and Marrable, functioned well, and Broadis was in good form. There was little fault to be found with the backs, and Barlow kept his goal well.

Of the visitors, the most striking men were Thompson, at centre-forward; Masters, at right-half; and the hard-kicking and tricky Bremner at left-back.

The game opened with desultory raids from end to end, but F. Boston raised Golders Green's hopes in the first few minutes with a brilliant shot which hit the post and bounced out - a grand effort. Then Thompson led the Caledonians into a lively attack, which was upset by Broadis, and Golders Green forced a corner from which McIlroy cleared with difficulty.

The game was but ten minutes old when BREAGAN received from F. Boston after a nice bout of passing on the left wing, and he netted cleanly to give Golders Green the lead. Breagan nearly headed in a second, and the visitors' goal had another narrow escape from Stovell, who turned in a pass from Browne, McIlroy reaching the ball in the nick of time.

At the other end there was some good work on the left wing, resulting in a low, fast shot from Thompson, but Barlow cleared. Broadis broke up another movement started by Shedden, and play was transferred to the other end, where Browne worked cleverly to draw the defence before swinging the ball out to F. Boston, who called McIlroy into action again.

Golders Green were keeping up a fast pace and there was much individual cleverness. A better knack of finding the right men when passing would have brought further goals in the first half.

Breagan gave one or two displays of remarkable ball control, and Browne delivered a beautiful centre to Stovell, who took a first-time shot dead to the centre of goal, McIlroy doing well to hold the ball.

There were times when Golders Green were all round the visitors' goal, but some good chances were lost by bunching amongst the forwards.

Both the Caledonian wings could be dangerous at times, and Barlow was not without his worries. On one occasion he fell, and had to roll from under Thompson to scramble the ball away. Leahy and Boston both got in some useful centres when Golders Green returned to the attack, but the inside men could not penetrate. Close on time Barlow saved from Thompson and A. Walker.

Affter the interval Golders Green faced the driving snow, but the Caledonians did not take full advantage of the position, and Golders Green seemed happier than the visitors on the slippery ground. Browne and Leahy soon reached McIlroy, but he was ready for the shots. After a quick raid by Caledonians, in which McGregor and Walker were prominent, F. Boston accepted the ball from Caswell and raced down the field, finishing up with a splendid cross shot which nearly found the net, but Golders Green fell back again and Thompson was seen in a fine solo effort, but his shot missed the goal. Soon afterwards Barlow ran out to save from Thompson.

There followed a spell of scrappy play, mainly owing to the poor visibility, but this was soon livened up by Leahy, who took a long pass forward from Ward and shot from close range. McIlroy's clearance kick reached W. Boston, who ran the ball three-quarters of the way up the field and passed it over to Leahy, who beat Garden, but drove wide of the post.

Two free kicks were well placed by Broadis, but gained Golders Green no advantage. With the end of the game in sight, however, F. Boston sent in a well-judged centre, from which STOVELL headed Golders Green's second goal.

The third came very shortly afterwards. A defender handled in the area in intercepting a beautiful pass from Stovell to Leahy. BROADIS, taking the spot kick, drove the ball well to the back of the net. Finally Breagan converted a centre from Boston to give Golders Green their fourth.

THE REPLAY DECISION.
Six minutes before time the final whistle sounded, and in his subsequent report the referee referred to the bad weather, and said that in taking such action he was prompted by requests from Caledonian players after the Golders Green fourth goal.

A formal report to the Association was put in by the Calewdopnians' sxecretary, but he emphasised that his club did not want to protest against the result being allowed.

Mr. W.W. Heard, Middlesex hon. secretary, stated however that he had come to the conclusion that this could not be accepted as a match since both teams had not decided to play short time.

In connection with the council's unanimous decision upon a re-play, it was stated that the referee, Flt.-Sergt. N. Stewart, controlled the game admirably.
