Sun Engraving v Odhams                             1937/38                                    HCL

Sun rout feeble Odhams

Sun Engraving met Odhams in the third round of the Rickmansworth Charity Cup on Saturday, and won with great ease.
The visitors were not at full strength, but even so they were very disappointing, seldom contributing any life to the game, and the Sun carried out their attacks without any serious challenge.
The result was a dull and uninteresting exhibition, with the seldom extended Sun as easy winners as an eight nil success suggests.
Emery and Brown (2) scored in the first half, and in the second Cooper, Roberts, Emery and Brown (2) beat Gurney.
The Sun's combination kept their opponents penned in their own half.

Sun Engraving: J Trevers, W Howe, C Trevers, B Brown, A Davis, R Cartwright, C Roberts, S Emery, R Brown, P Cooper, A Doig

Sun Apprentice plays for Chelsea

The title of this story might be "Local boy makes good", but it is perhaps advisable to wait a little while and head it "Local boy should make good".
The local boy is Sid Bidewell, who saw a schoolboy dream come true when he played centre forward for Chelsea against Huddersfield Town on Saturday, and scored two goals in his first appearance in a First Division match!
When Bidewell went up to Stamford Bridge on the morning of the match he had no idea of the surprise in store for him.
With Mills hurt in the international against the Czechs, and his deputy, Bambrick, also unfit, Manager Knighton was in a quandary, and decided to gamble on the 19 year old youth, whom he signed on professional forms from Wealdstone last summer, and who had at inside right for the Pensioner's Reserves.
"Go out there and play your natural game, and don't try to do too much", said the manager. And even in his most optimistic moments, Mr. Knighton could not have anticipated Bidewell's success of scoring two goals and supplying the final pass for the third.
Football is not his full time job.
He is an apprentice in the gravure retouching department at Sun Engraving, and lives in North Watford.
Sid Bidewell played for Watford Boys and Herts in 1931/32 as a representative of Alexandra School.
After leaving school he played for Callowland Old Boys for three seasons and then joined St Albans City before going to Wealdstone along with fellow Watfordian Bunce (a Sun Engraving player).
