Station 'Trounced by Mount Hope Soccer Team The iliount Hope R.A.F. soccer team.. from' Hamilton composed- of no less - than seven players with first league experience overwhelmed a weakened. Clinton team to .the tune of 11-1 in the game played at Somerville Field London on Saturday . The Hamilton players gave a dazz- ling .display, and at times had their apponents bewildered. • LAC Taggart,. who previously played for the famous Glasgow Queen's Paris, was the shin- ing light in a forward line that show- ed brilliance throughout the game, and seldom seen even in this country.. Clinton won the toss, and Butler kick- ed off ,for the Hamilton team. The, Clinton forwards went down but the ball was cleared, and Mount Hope then took up the offensive, their forwards playing a delightful brand. of short passing, and inside of tem. minutes Laffey, the outside left, op ened the scoring from a -cross froin. the right, and a few minutes later- bloor, the inside left added No. 2 and. Laffey just missed scoring again when well in putting the ball across the goal mouth, Hurdon, a former Plymouth Argyle player, was play-• tee a gi'ani game at •outside right.. only missed by inches, but Butler, the' • Mount Hope centre, added No, 3. A corner fell to Mount Hope but Clin- ton cleared, and Mount Hope went down for Taggart to score. A free- kiek to Clinton was well taken .and, Chubb was called on to save a drop- ping shot. It was a near thing. Half-time:' Mount Hope 6, Clin ton O. Continuing ri ng the pressure on the re-. sumption of play ' the. Clinton goalie made some nice saves, • but Mount. Ilope was given a penalty and Butler took the kick shot over, while a min- ute later Taggart missed a regular sitter but made amends a minute lat- er after the Clinton goalie had made a wonderful save, Clinton kept on trying and during .a iapte by the • Hamilton c is scored defence Richards scot d for Clinton to save his team a whitewash: It was a well deserved goal.
