The Whitehaven News - April 27, 1899

NORTH WESTERN LEAGUE. ****** BARROW v. MARYPORT.        At Barrow on Saturday, in beautiful weather. TREEWEEKE started for Barrow against the sun and wind and good work by both wings carried play into the visitors quarters, but a big kick by LOMAS sent the ball dead at the other end. Fine passing and a cross kick by PROCTOR enabled RIDGE to cross the line for Barrow. Good dribbling by the visitors front rank gave them a  footing in the home territory only to see HAMBLETT dash away to the halfway. Here again PROCTOR was again prominent, but his kick went into touch.        Maryport had two grand chances, but lacked speed. Then BAWDEN ran grandly, only to see Maryport back again under the posts, and LOMAS was held just on the line. Still pressing the visitors forced the ball over the line, but BAWDEN  kicked dead.        WADE next defended finely, and transferred play to midfield, from where BAWDEN ran splendidly over the line. Good combination by Maryport taxed the home defence, and LOMAS ran grandly on several occasions. BROWN for Barrow followed up a kick out of touch and tackled MANDLE on the line, but CLARK brought relief with a good run. Then at the other end MESSENGER, BAWDEN and PROCTOR combined, and the latter scored, and another passing movement among the Barrow backs enabled BAMBER to score.        Result: Barrow 1, goal 4 tries; Maryport, nil. ******
