Goalless Second Half.
Spoke Volumes for Defensive Craftsmanship.
Denaby worth Reward.

Denaby United 0 Burton Town 3

Denaby just halved the score against them at Burton a week ago. And how well they deserve credit for that merit!

Burton were the greatest artists in the mud of Tickhill square, but Denaby’s constant eagerness and dash were always menacing.

Town had more experience and made easier chances for a sharp shooting line – but a second-half devoid of goals spoke volumes for the craftsmanship of the Denaby defendants, in which Happs and Williams, particularly were stars.
