EVERTON YOUTH V BURY YOUTH

9TH NOVEMBER 1957

Everton romped to victory at Goodison Park this morning in the F.A. Youth Cup having most of the play due to their superior tactics and winning 7-2. Blair opened their account with a great goal after 15 minutes but Howarth equalised. When Dootson, Bury’s goalkeeper misjudged a ball, Barton nipped in put Everton in front and further goals were scored by Ashworth (2), Folksman, Blair and Todd.

Bury improved and came more into the game, but Everton defence easily held their attacks. Labone and Bentham being prominent. Gregory managed to score for Bury to reduce the arrears.

Everton Youth 7, Bury Youth 2.

EVERTON YOUTH ON TRIAL

4TH DECEMBER 1957

BY STORK

With the emphasis on youth in football I would like to recommend the Youth match at Goodison Park on Saturday morning at 11 o’clock.

Everton have reached the last 32, having beaten Liverpool 4-1 and Bury 7-2, and their meeting with Bolton Wanderers should provide a keen tussle.

We have already had a view of several of the Everton boys who graduated throught he Youth team but there are many more who have not been “shown” in senior football so far.

I have glowing accounts of Labone, Griffiths, the Liverpool and Northern Counties team and a Welsh schoolboy goalkeeper, Ashworth, Bentham, Todd, Kavanagh, to mention but a few, but don’t you think it would be better if you went and saw for yourself the up – and – coming youngsters who may one day be called to senior status? Bentham, Labone, Todd and Ashworth are the only professionals.

I am sure you will see a good game, for the Wanderers are going to put a strong team on the field.

Everton. Graham Griffiths; Alan Bentham, Frank Briars; Arthur Peat, Brian Labone, Eddie Kavanagh; Dave Todd, Eddie Folksman, Jimmy Blain, Alec Ashworth, Ken Barton.
