Denaby’s First Defeat
Enforced Changes Responsible

Norton Woodseats 3 Denaby Utd 1

Denaby United met with their first defeat of the season, after two successive draws, when they visited Norton Woodseats.

Denaby’s defeat was probably due to the numerous enforced changes. Play was even in the first half, with both defences being hard pressed. MULLIGAN put Denaby ahead just after the interval, but WEBSTER equalised for Woodseats.

HAWKSWILL gave Woodseats the lead with a grand goal. He dribbled through the whole Denaby side from the half way line. HAWKSWILL scored again shortly afterwards, heading through from a corner.
