In contrast with the previous Monday's game, there was some football worth watching at Claremont Road on Saturday, when Golders Green beat Bromley in an Athenian League match by 5-0.

For the first 20 minutes Golders Green were hard pressed. Then they began to assert themselves, and, with the forward line playing in real harmony, soon after the start of the second half they were on top. And they stayed there. Some of their football was really delightful.

In L. Green they seem to have found a centre-forward at last. His play was constructive and thrustful. He inspired Duffield to a 50 per cent. betterment of form, and he brought the whole line together into a whole.

One can find little to cavil at in the play of any member of the team. Kimber again kept a clean sheet - he has been beaten but three times in six games.

There was a certain amount of miskicking by the backs, who otherwise played a strong game. Broadis, too, was a tower of strength. Bloxham, at right-half, we like more and more. The things he does seem done so easily that people do not fully realise his value. As always, Bucci popped up where he was most needed.

Two of the goals scored were from penalties.

Bromley kicked off and were soon away down the left touchline, a movement ending in the clearance of an awkwardly twisting ball by Kimber. Back in the other half, a foul was given against Bromley, and from the kick Duffield shot over the top.

One or two dangerous looking attacks by Bromley were foiled by [W.] Boston and George, though they got past them once. Fallon put the ball across to Wade, who centred back. Barnes headed just wide of the upright.

With Golders Green defenders miskicking, Bromley pressed hard and took one or two shots which went wide. Relief came when Bloxham put F. BOSTON away with a nice pass. Boston was already close to goal, and he put in one of his special angle shots successfully. Golders Green were one up after 10 minutes.

Shots at goal came from Boston, Green's head, Boston again (over the top), and then Green seemed likely to score after a nice pass by Duffield. But Bartaby came out and fell on the ball, effectively stopping the rush.

We liked the way Green was unselfishly feeding his wings. it was a feature lacking from Golders Green's previous games.

Thrill came when Bartaby punched a centre from Breagan right off Green's head. Boston was unlucky to miss with a lovely shot that went over the top.

After 30 minutes Browne took a pass from Breagan and went up the field fast to centre well. GREEN was right there and he headed neatly past the goalkeeper, scoring his first goal and Golders Green's second.

The home team's star was now in the ascendant and Bromley were finding it increasingly difficult to deal with their opponents. Browne, in particular, was playing really brainy football.

There was no further score before half-time.

Soon after the resumption Bromley missed a chance from a free kick on the left wing. This was one of the very few chances they did get in the second half.

A nice piece of combination by Boston, Duffield and Browne resulted in a centre by Breagan which Green was unlucky t o head over the bar instead of under.

[F.] Boston was inclined to go offside. When the same player was tripped inside the penalty area, BROADIS took the kick. No one could have saved it. This third goal came after 19 minutes of the second half.

Duffield had a fine run down the field ending in a neat pass to Green, whose shot was saved. But the ball came back to Green a moment later, and he gave to BROWNE, who lofted the ball over the heads of the crowd into goal. Bartaby was evidently taken by surprise - so were many more, even the scorer. This left 22 minutes to go.

The fifth goal came 10 minutes later, when Breagan was tripped in the penalty area. BROADIS put in another snorter to raise the score irresistably to 5-0.

With 12 minutes only left to play, Golders Green made rings round their opponents, but their shots went either wide or over the top. Their impetuosity was slightly overwhelming their judgment. One cannot blame them.

One must congratulate both teams on the spirit in which the game was played. There were - as apparently there must always be - fouls of one kind or another; but there was none of that unpleasantness which marred the tie with Enfield in the previous match.
