Sheffield Challenge
(Third Round)
Wednesday Finish Strongly
Sheffield Wednesday Reserves 9 Denaby United 4
Although Denaby United were beaten 9 – 4 by Sheffield Wednesday Reserves at Hillsborough on Saturday they were not by any means disgraced for they had a fair share of the game, and it was only in the closing stages that Sheffield were able to gain victory by such a margin.
When the interval arrived Wednesday held a 3 – 2 lead, and 15 minutes from the end had a 5 – 3 lead, Wednesday added another four goals. BURGIN got five of the goals, ROGERS and FOX two each for Sheffield, while ARDRON, SMITH and NEWTON (2) scored for Denaby.
