Most Consistent Full-back

22 December 1933

South Yorkshire Times, December 22nd 1933 

Walter Nicholls (Darfield Church), one of the most consistent full-backs in Wombwell junior football, played a big part in his sides splendid win at Blythe Street. 

 Nicholls a big built lad, tackles with determination. He has had spells with Darfield and Darfield Bridge who have had a long run of bad luck, surprised the “fans” by their victory at Blythe Street. Blythe Street as the only conquerors of Broomhill this season, have a big reputation particularly on their own ground.  

The score of 3-1 in their favour did not flatter them. Thompson, Shaw and Woodhead (penalty) got the goals.
