LEEDS U. VISIT NEWRY
Twomey's Great Display
Leeds United met Newry Town last night, the game resulting in a 2-2 draw. Leeds' visit was part of an arrangement made when Twomey, the Irish League team's goalkeeper, was transferred last season.

Shortly afterwards Leeds were awarded a penalty for hands, but Milburn shot against the bar. After thirty minutes Barlow levelled for Newry. In the second half there was no score.
