1934

From Sid Grant History of Coalfields Soccer

This continued in season 1934 and new recruits included Jack Drinkwater and Aub Perris from local junior ranks. The avenue for future success was well founded for in the next decade, the "Geordies" built up an amazing series of brilliant successes. In 1934, a total of 111 goals were netted in the season's activities - J. Williams (26), J. Kemp (19), J. Wilkinson (17), A. Teece (12), A. Perris (10). In the State Cup, they proved invincible, crushing Aberdare (3 to 0), Granville (4 to 0) and Adamstown 5 to 1 in the final. During this effort, one must mention its five ties versus near neighbours, Kurri Kurri - 2 all - 1 all - 2 all - 2 all - then 5 to 3 in Weston's favour - in all 630 minutes to settle the issue. Team in the final triumph was - McNabb, Harris, Drinkwater, Shakespeare, McCroarey, E. Kemp, A Teece, J. Wilkinson, J. Williams, J. Kemp, Perris.
