Neither Webster nor Sexton was eligible for the Middlesex Charity Cup-tie on Saturday, which was regarded as a misfortune during the first half, for Golders Green shaped badly so far as the forward line was concerned, and only just scraped through to level terms close upon the interval. After the change-over, however, they played an entirely different game, adding three goals and emerging good winners by 4-2 over London Caledonians.

Fortunately, the snow - apparently associated with London Caledonian fixtures - was absent on this occasion, but there was a strong enough wind to be taken advantage of by the Caledonians, who won the toss.

In consequence of the absence of Golders Green's new inside men, Bucci moved up to inside-right and G. Marrable camed in at inside-left. Sharp, fit again, took the left-half position with Weaver in the centre and Bloxham at right-half. Breagan, who gave such a fine display against Enfield, remained on the right wing, and did a lot of good work. Walker scored two of the goals.

The Caledonians were without J. Garden at centre-half, but K. Taylor gave a good performance in his place. The best man on the field, however, was R. Caira, the visitors' remarkably fast and clever little right-back.

Facing the wind in the first half, Golders Green did not look winners, though they made a good attempt to secure the lead almost from the kick-off. Walker pushed the ball out to Breagan, who made ground and centred right across the goalmouth. F. Boston and Walker figured in a mix-up close to goal , but Caira cleared, and when Boston came in again McIlroy held his shot.

Then the Caledonians set to work on the left wing, but McGregor tapped the ball too far forward and Barlow came out to clear. Caswell upset an attack from the right, and though Connors quickly retrieved the ball and pushed it out to Gardner again, the winger shot well wide of the posts. McGregor and A. Walker combined well in a couple of promising raids, but the second only led to an unproductive corner conceded by W. Boston, and after McGregor had shot across the goal, Golders Green produced some forward play again, but weak passing by the halves and the front line defeated their efforts. W. Boston came up the field and shot over the bar, Bucci drove wide, and F. Boston missed after taking a pass from Bucci. Golders Green were now having a full share of the play, but there was no real promise of a score.

At the other end Gardner beat Caswell, but could not turn in time for a shot, and the ball landed harmlessly behind the net. McGregor forced a corner before the visitors fell back. One or two chances then presented themselves to Golders Green, but the forwards were hanging too far back with the exception of Walker and F. Boston.

Nearly half an hour had gone when McGREGOR beat the defence and went through to open the score for the Caledonians.

Golders Green responded with a spirited attack, but again the lack of inside forwards was the fault. Golders Green certainly had no need for five half-backs at this time. It appeared that F. Boston was the only likely goal-getter unless Walker was lucky enough to get through on his own. Close on half-time, however, the Caledonian defence left WALKER with an opening the moment a long pass reached him from the right. He shot hard and low down, beating McIlroy well to give Golders Green their equaliser.

Caswell was p,aying a good steady game, but Sharp was not going for the ball enough.

Half-time arrived with the scores level, and playing with the wind after the change of ends, it was apparent that Golders Green would do somer good if the forwards would play as a line. Walker forced a corner, and Boston placed the kick beautifully. Breagan received the ball and shot to the level of the bar, but McIlroy pushed the ball over. It was a grand effort by Breagan, who now came into greater prominence and livened up the Golders Green attack very considerably. Bucci shot through, but McIlroy held.

Then the Caledonians set up a swift movement on the right. Caswell robbed Gardner, but the ball was transferred to the other wing, and McGREGOR slipped round W. Boston to give the Caledonians the lead again. This reverse need not have come if the Golders Green defence had shown more rfeadiness to get rid of the ball.

Golders Green soon equalised through F. BOSTON. Breagan was responsible for forcing a corner. He took the kick, and a first-timer by Boston reached the net. Golders Green were now on top of the game, and McIlroy was reached by Walker, Breagan, Boston and Bucci.

Shedden and Gardner figured in a sharp raid by the visitors, but Golders Green came back again, and MARRABLE scored their third after McIlroy had held three shots. Again the score resulted mainly from Breagan's work. WALKER netted the fourth with an opportune drive from a fair range. McIlroy dealt with a couple of drives low down from F. Boston, and the Caledonians survived a series of corners, from one of which Walker headed the ball into McIlroy's arms. Near the close of play Walker was unlucky to turn outside the post a well-judged centre from Breagan.
