Sheffield Independent – Monday 29 January 1900
Hatchard Cup – Division 1
Denaby 4 Conisbro’ 1
This match was played on Saturday at Denaby. There was a good gate.
The visitors won the toss, and with this advantage they pressed hard until Whittaker put a clean shot between the posts.
Denaby then made a spurt, and after a considerable amount of hard work, Crowcroft managed to equalise matters just before half-time.
Resuming, Denaby pressed hard, and putting the ball into a corner, Goodlad succeeded in transferring into the net. Goodwin made a run, and passed the letter over to Lyons, the inside Denaby right, who managed to make a neat score.
Some rushing play ensued on both sides for a considerable time, when Lyons again scored amidst loud cheering just before the final whistle sounded
