Mexborough and Swinton times, November 14.
Denaby United 1. Gainsborough Trinity 7
After taking a point at Heanor the previous week there were high hopes that Denaby were going to repeat their form against Gainsborough at Tickhill Square on Saturday. To a great extent they did – in their approach work – but their finishing was a pale shadow of Gainsborough’s goalscoring ability.
The visitors at the man of the match and centre forward Alexander, and the Denaby defence had little or no answer to the wandering which always seem to end with him perfectly positioned for a shot at goal.
Four of those shots 20 – two in each half – and his colleagues added another three between. The tragedy for Denaby was that they had an almost equal share of the play and could manage only one in reply.
Denaby’s goal came in the 63rd minute. Smith shot, full-back Mellors handled it, and Burton stopped it, but a penalty wasn’t necessary. The boy gone over the line before the goalkeeper got to it.
Team: Stasiukiewicz 5; Wroe 7, Hanby 6; Woodger 6, Taylor 5, Harvey 6; Stretton 6, Smith 6, Gant 5, Holden 6 , Whittaker 5
