Denaby Neglect Chances
Denaby United 2 Rotherham United Res 3
Denaby United suffered a 3-2 home defeat at the hands of Rotherham United Res.
With the wind in the first half Denaby failed to use many opportunities, and could only score twice. Rotherham were a moderate side but in the second half made good use of the wind, sending in dangerous long shots. The outstanding player on the field was Home, Denaby’s goalkeeper. His work was very good. In Gunhill Denaby have a useful half-back.
Scorers were Briggs and Gunhill for Denaby and Schafer, Lennon and Shaw for Rotherham
