TENBURY WINS FOOTBALL CONTEST . The first sports meeting held by the Little Hereford Football and Athletic Club proved a highly interesting event not only to mem- bers of the Club but to many others in the district , and , in addition , attracted a consider- able number from the adjoining neighbour- hood . Ludlow , Leominster , and Tenbury were well represented amongst competitors and spectators , and altogether there was an assembly of between four and five hundred people on the Football Field ( kindly lent by Mr. T. Jones ) , which is situated close to the venerable parish Church and not far from Easton Court railway station , Saturday last was ideal for such a gathering . The sun shone brilliantly throughout the afternoon and evening , its warm rays tem- pered by a refreshing breeze . Having regard to recent climatic vagaries the fact must have been a relief to all associated with the sports and particularly the energetic committee of the Club who carried through the arrange- ments . For the spectators the pleasant con- ditions made possible enhanced enjoyment of the competitive programme and of the various incidental attractions which had been included The Club , it may be mentioned , was formed as Hon . The CRICKET . LEOMINSTER V. LUDLOW AND SOUTH SHROPSHIRE . The above match , which was played on the Grange on Thursday last , was marked by low scoring on both sides and a very close finish resulted . Ludlow batted first and could do little against the bowling of Randall and Preece . The former commenced taking wic- kets early , while Preece bowled eight maid- ens in his first twelve overs . At last luck . came his way and he secured five wickets for 24 ru Leominster found the wicket very difficult and runs came slowly . The innings was marked by a fine innings by the captain , Vaughan Taylor , who put up a most useful 28 .
