When the teame met st Gag's Lars last week South Shields were successful by the only goal of the match , And they relied upon the same side for today's encounter , while the visitors made the changes , Amos transferting from the left ning to the right , to the exclusion of Stephen .. pen , having Ball as his partner in place of Stare , while Aitken took the right wing paal .

They were unable , however , to make any progress . and Bradshaw again put his forwards in ¡ Ossession , and a dangerous movement by the left wing pair WAS looking rather ominous for the Shieldsmen when Ridley dashed up in characteristic fashion and made a decisive clearance . Cleverly supported by their half backs the South Shields forwards eventually got into their stride and a sparkling touch Bolam ne raid by left Simms wel ! lender's placed , but the South Shields shot was effectually smothered by Smith at the expense of a corner . NARROW ESCAPE FOR BURY . The fag.kick was well placed but it Tras just beyond the reach of Hardy's tead . and Bradshaw cleared easily There was a promising movement on the Shields left wing which Brown initiated . and the Bury goal had a narrow escape when he tapped the ball across to Green well . for the inside left to put the ball across an undefended goalmouth . Fortunately for the visitors , however . there was no one sufficiently far up to put on the finishing touches . The game at this point was wholly in the Shieldsmen's favour , and the Bury defenders were hard ut to it to cope with the fast and leverly executed combined movements of the South Shields forwards . A delightful centre by Bolam put the Rury defence in dificulties , and Heap was rather lucky to get the ball away when he went to Richardson's assistance . GREENWELL SCORES . The game was ten minutes old when Fouth Shields , amid great excitement . etained the lead through GREENWELL .

Taking a first time low shot , he left Richardson helpless . The Seasiders success had the effect of bhtening up the game considerably , and in the succeeding stages of the game both se of defenders had plenty to occupy thei attention . The Bury forwards were a fast nippy lot , a cleverly jed by Bullock , were quick to exploit all the openings . In Ridley and Crown , however , they had wary opponents , and Hardy was always a stumbling bleek to the Bury leader . After Hird had dealt with a delightfull effort by Aitken and Woodhouse . Simms eseayed to get his forwards moving en cunter en insurmountable barrier in the visitors hefty centre - half . SHIELDS SATURDAY 1 FOOTBALL OCTOBER BULLOCK'S FINE LEADERSHIP . Bullock was conspicuous for smart leadership , his - wing placing being par ticularly effective , and as a result 2015-0 South Shields defence had some anglous moments . From one of these inoursions , Amos receiving from Bullock , swung the all accurately into the goalmouth , and the Bury leader was just a foot wide with great shot . Ridley brought relief with a useful arance , and the South Shields forwards the made desperate efforts to open out without much success . PER Mwaky The ball across to Greenwell who had no one but the custodian to heat , and the Fafelda ' inside left disappointed the crowd by putting the ball a foot wide of the agright .
