From the 3 Sep 1925 Simcoe
Reformer:
"Crescents Win Trophy -- The final game of the Harrington Bros.
Charity Cup football series was played last evening, the Crescents
emerging victorious by a score of two goals to nil. It was the
fastest and best played match even seen in the Norfolk County
League. Angus Hall tallied the first goal 25 minutes after the start
and Sidney Hoye made it two shortly after the second half opened when he
booted the pigskin into the goalies hands and sent them both through
between the sticks. This is the third time the two aggregrations
have clashed for the Cup, the other games resulting in tie scores ... the
Crescents are to be congratulated on winning the Cup for the second
successive year." [The
Crescents won all three soccer trophies, Molson's, Harrington's and League
in 1926, the first time one team held all three simultaneously, according
to the September 25, 1930 Simcoe Reformer.] |
