Friday, March 19 – 1897
The postponed Combination match, Liverpool Reserves v. Rawtenstall, will be played at Anfield to-morrow. The public will have an opportunity for the first time of seeing Charles Jowett (who is considered the best local goalkeeper) perform in good company. For the benefit of those who are unable to attend the match at Sheffield, the committee have arranged to have telephonic communication from Sheffield and Stoke, with the scores in the two semi finals, every quarter of an hour.
