   EVERTON'S EIGHT GOALS.

  BIG CENTRAL LEAGUE WIN OVER LIVERPOOL

  At Goodison Park, yesterday, Everton Reserves won their Central League game against Liverpool Reserves, by no fewer than 8 goals to 2. It was a remarkable turn round, for Everton were in arrears for some time, and at half-time the score was 2 each. In the second half Liverpool gradually went from bad to worse, and Everton, playing good, confident, combined football, outplayed their opponents. The goalscorers were Forbes (3), Miller (2), Harrison (penalty), Williams, and Grenyer. It was a triumph of deadly shooting as against a side that could not get going in attack. Wadsworth and Lewis on the left wing were out of touch with the game, and could do nothing right. Even worse was the case of Gilhespy and Shone, and Sambrooke after the first twenty minutes fell away. At half-back Bamber did much good work early on, and with Lucas kept the Everton left wing in some semblance of subjection. After that Harrison revelled in his game, and playing bright lively football and receiving encouraging passes from Williams and Grenyer, the Everton team simply riddled the defence. There were two occasions when temper was shown –first when Parry, the Liverpool back adopted a threatening attitude, and next when Wilkinson, the goalkeeper, in apparent disgusts kicked the ball behind his own goal. Everton had the bigger and better side, and there was more balance about the defence, for Weller and Caddick shaped well, whereas Parry was uncertain in his kicking. At half-back there was a vast difference, Reid, Jeffs, and Grenyer outclassing their rivals. Forward Forbes kept a good position Parry and Miller were sprightly and the left wing was in excellent form, the shooting after ten minutes' play, when the players were inclined to hang on to the ball, being to the point. The Liverpool goals were scored by Sambrooke and Bamber. Teams: - Everton Reserves: - Salt, goal, Caddick, and Weller, backs, Jeffs, Reid, Grenyer, half-backs, Parry, Miller, Forbes, Williams, and Harrison, forwards. Liverpool Reserves: - Wilkinson, goal, Lucas, and Parry, backs, Bamber, Rogers, and R. Mitchell, half-backs, Gilhespy, Shone, Sambrooke, Lewis, and H. Wadsworth, forwards.
