This week in History...
May 21 1914, 112 years ago to the date...
"A football game was played between teams representing the Hospital and Clive on Friday the 15th inst., on the Hospital grounds. Both teams were in good playing form, and on the game being started, Clive made it hot for the first ten minutes, but their efforts were neutralized by very erratic shooting. Ply was then transferred to the Clive territory, and some splendid chances were missed-- Buchanan missing the goal month after the goalkeeper was beaten. However the same player had another chance to pick himself up, and with a nice pass from Thorn he put in a shot that astonished the opponent goalkeeper.
The whistle sounded half-time. Scores stood, Hospital 1, Clive 0. The second half was almost a repetition of the first, the outstanding feature of the game being the splendid work of the Hospital defence. Praise is due to Chandler for the brilliant game he played, also the two backs, while the star of the Clive team was outside left, who worked hard and made some fine openings which the pivot failed to use.
The game was capably handled by E.G Thorn."
Guess it goes to show that Ponoka has a winning streak of 112 years. 😆
