Bristol Football Team Falls To Warren in Saturdays Match
The South End squad from Bristol visited Warren and lost 10 to 0 to the Warren eleven. Bristol, newly formed with limited practice, fought hard and likely could have scored with a neutral call. The Warrens, heavier and more seasoned, benefited from local crowd interference noted by the referee. A return game is planned in Bristol on October 31 with expectations of a different outcome.
