Fine Victory Over Barnet.
Kingstonians made their holiday record a brilliant one by supplementing the victories of Friday and Saturday by beating Barnet two to nil in another Athenian League match at Barnet on Easter Monday afternoon. The team was the same as in the previous matches, with the one exception that Ayliffe, from the reserve eleven, partnered Vivyen-Davies at back.

On the whole the game was not one about which one could be enthusiastic. After the stiff programme of the week-end, there was, not unnaturally, a little staleness among the players, and the heavy ground was not to the taste of the Kingstonians. Barnet undoubtedly had the greater share of the exchanges, and that they failed to score was chiefly due to poor shooting on many occasions and to the splendid goal-keeping of Winyard.

From the onset Barnet pressed, and they were the attackers throughout the greater part of the first half, during which the Kingstonian goal had a number of narrow escapes and Winyard effected several fine saves. The home crowd frequently reminded the Kingstonians that the were not playing Cheshunt, but, as events proved, the visitors demonstrated that, when the opportunity occurred, they were more apt than Barnet in finding the net.

About half-an-hour of the time had passed when Kingstonians opened the scoring. Wright and Harry got away from midfield, and, when challenged by the backs, Harry headed the ball past them, ran forward and scored with a nice rising shot. A little later, Harry again beat the backs close in and again looked like scoring, but this time the Barnet custodian threw himself at the ball and made a brilliant save, although at the expense of a corner.

At the other end, the Kingstonian goal was threatened frequently, particularly from several corners, from one of which Coomb grazed the cross-bar with a hard shot. At the interval Kingstonians had the credit of the only goal scored- admittedly a rather flattering position for them, having regard to the run of the play.

The visitors had a greater share of the play during the second half than they did in the first, but both goals had some very narrow escapes. Once Winyard, going out to clear, was deceived by the bounce of the ball, which passed beyond him, and Davies kicked away in the nick of time as the home forwards dashed in to score.

Then the Barnet goal had a lucky escape, Henson placing in the centre well and Harry, from close in, hitting the cross-bar with a shot when the goalkeeper was well beaten and Stentiford receiving the ball on the rebound, also had the mortification of seeing his shot stopped by the crossbar. Subsequently there was much exciting play in the Kingstonians' half, and the backs, Wood and Yates, did good work in defence, whilst Winyard coolly dealt with all the shots that came his way.

Harry ably led the visitors' front line in a number of runs, Crick and Henson also contributing good efforts on the wings. Once Wright - who otherwise did well - had practically an open goal in front of him, as the result of play by Henson and Harry, but he shot wide. The game was nearing the end, when a break-away by Crick gave Kingstonians their second goal. Barnet were pressing, and Harry cleared from the goal area, sending out to Crick, who took the ball the length of the field, beat the back, and centred well. Stentiford shot and Green saved, but Crick followed up and scored a good goal. Both goals were subjected to further attacks, but time came with the score still:-
