Mexborough and Swinton Times, February 18, 1938
SHREWSBURY’S nine goals at Tick-hill Square on Monday took Denaby’s I total “against” to ninety—easily the highest in the league. It is the heaviest defeat they have suffered for at least two seasons (Barnsley Reserves scored eight without reply in February of last year), but goodness knows how much heavier it might have been but for occa-&tonal strokes of luck. However, from Shrewsbury’s int of view, it was hardly unexpected. They are, undoubtedly; the finest side to visit Tiekhiti Square this season, and if. Monday’s showing is ‘ anything to go by, they semi well set for the championship in their firat season. Three slips at the beginning of the , season have robb?d them of what might I
have been a substantial lead. They lost .way—on each occasion by an odd goalfto Burton, Scarborough, and, strangely enough, Rotherham. Denaby defeated Rotherham on Saturday. It was [their first home victory since Sept. 27th. That’s the luck of football!
