To Play in France

A team of British railwaymen, which will meet a team of French railwayman in a football game at Eremont, near Paris, on Easter Sunday, will include Mr Albert Willoughby, 14 Brookfield Ave, Swinton, who is employed at Mexborough L.N.E. Rail Local Department.

Mr Willoughby has played for Mexborough L.N.E.R. Athletic as a half back for the past two seasons.

He and other members of the Mexborough team played with a team of Northern railwaymen against a side composed of Southern railwaymen.

The team which will go to France on Saturday was selected from these two sides.
