Haverford's 2 Quick Goals Give Confidence

Coventry had a few players who could send long throwins to the center of the box, and in the 11th minute they threatened on just such a play. Willie Finberg, playing in a new, central defending position, stepped forward to make the block that was needed and clear the danger.

But it was the Dragons who struck next. McCallum sent Lyons in on the left side with a long ball deep. Lyons out ran and outmuscled his marker, but saw his shot with the outside of his right foot sail wide.

Coventry's keeper had already committed, however, so then Brown reached the ball at the far post, a tap was all that was required to double Haverford's advantage in the 15th minute.

The remainder of the first half was a back-and-forth affair, with the Dragons creating chances, and Coventry getting a few of their own as well.

In the opening minutes of the second half, Kuyat was pressed into service, as a Coventry counterattack created a great scoring chance on the left side. Kuyat made himself large and got a leg on the shot, and then Haverford dealt calmly with the ensuing corner kick.
