BRISTOL CITY : Reserves
Ashton Gate
0 - 4 
12 April 1919

Line-up Unknown

Bristiol City were easily the better team at Ashton Gate, when they defeated a weak West Ham United elevenby four clear goals. Howarth, the City's old centre forward, turned out, and signalised his reappearance by playing a good game, and scoring two goals. The game was eventful only in oatches, but was never any doubt as to the winning team. Even in the first half, whennot a single goal was scored, the home side maintained a clear superiority. Time after time they swept down on the West Ham goal, and they did everything but score. Harris, who is doing quite well at outsode left, flashed across centre after centre in a magnificent manner, but they all went begging, or were cleared. After the interval the City attacked to better purpose, and Howarth opened the scoring with agreat goal. Pocock who did some clever work as the partner o Harris, scored the second, and Howarth and Neesam registered the third and fourth respectively. The four goal superiority, which the Bristolians gained, was no more than they deserved, They were miles ahead of the visitors in all departments, although it must not be forgotten that West ham's real strong team was engaged elsewhere. It was a weak and unrepresentative elevn which was on view at Aston Gate.
