    RESERVE DERBY THRILLS

  Liverpool Hold On To Lead
  Everton Res;- Leyland, goal; J. Parkes, and Donovan, backs; Birch, Woods and Melville, half-backs; McNamara, Thomas, Saunders, Lewis, and Mayers, forwards. Liverpool Res;- Underwood, goal; Perry and Byrne, backs; Wilkinson, South and Campbell (D), half-backs; Scogings, Rowley, Dickson, and Robson, forwards. Referee; Mr. M. Taylor (Wigan). Everton took the field as chosen but Liverpool brought in Wilkinson for Campbell (R) and Scogings switched over to outside right with Robson at outside left. Liverpool had the advantage of the wind but it was Everton who were first on the attack and they forced two successive corners, the second of which was placed behind by Mayers. In Liverpool’s first attack Campbell (D.) shot narrowly over the bar but after seven minutes play Liverpool took the lead when Healy raced between the Everton backs and coolly placed the ball well out of Leyland’s reach. Everton equalized after 25 minutes play when McNamara’s low centre hit Lewis’ legs and rebound into the net. Two minutes later Rowley restored Liverpool’s lead. After Liverpool had scored their second goal, Everton retaliated strongly and Saunders saw a good shot pass narrowly just wide of the upright with Underwood well beaten. Everton appealed for a penalty when Perry held off Lewis on the edge of the area. Outside left Robson was by no means having his own way against Everton amateur right back J. Parkes, who in beating Robson to the ball went right down to Liverpool ‘s corner flag only to be foiled of centring the ball by Byrne. Half-time; Everton Res 1, Liverpool Res 2.

    LIVERPOOL RES V EVERTON RES

  Liverpool Res;- Rudham, goal; Perry and Bryne, backs; Wilkinson, South, and Campbell, half-backs; Jackson, Melia, Rowley, Anderson, and Dickson, forwards. Everton; Dunlop, goal; Donovan, and Rankin, backs; Grant, Woods and Melville, half-backs; McNamara, Thomas, Lewis, Parker, and Vizard, forwards. Referee; Mr. F.S. Jackson (Preston). The slow thaw had left a rather treacherous ground at Anfield, where South elected to defend the Kop goal in a murky atmosphere. Everton were the first to attack, but smart play by Parker and Vizard was foiled by Perry. Everton were well on top, and McNamara shot wide on two occasions. With Rudham out of his goal Lewis slipped at the vital moment. A minute later, the Everton centre-forward missed a good chance from an easy position. Rudham had to punch away with Lewis in close attendance. After 35 minutes Everton went ahead when Rudham slipped in coming out of goal and left Lewis with a gilt-edged chance. This reverse put new life into Liverpool, but their approach work was very haphazard, Rowley, however, fastened a Jackson pass and shot from an acute angle only to see Dunlop stick out a foot to prevent a goal. Everton tried again, but Vizard spoiled a good move by getting offside. Half-time; Liverpool Res nil, Everton Res 1.
  Liverpool’s early attacks were repulsed without troubling Dunlop and Everton looked the more dangerous. There was a general appeal for a penalty which Dickson was uprooted by Dunlop. Liverpool were now enjoying more of the play and 5 minutes after he saved from Dickson at the expense of a corner, Dunlop was well beaten by Melia’s diving header, which gave Liverpool the equalizer in the 65thy minute. Liverpool forced three successive corners, from two of which Dunlop made one-handed saves.
