Ingleton beat the Freehold Athletic at Morecambe on Saturday by two goals to 1 in the Lancaster and District League Championship and great was the jubilation thereat. As the train steamed into the station with the footballers their approach was heralded by the report of fog signals. A crowd gathered and gave them a hearty welcome. The brass band escorted them to the headquarters, The Three Horse Shoes Inn, where congratulatory speeches were given. In the game on Saturday both sides played with determination, and although Ingleton played a winning game all through the match, it was not until a few minutes before time was called that the winning goal was notched. Both teams had a good season, and is fitting that one should secure the Infirmary Cup, and the other the championship of the Lancaster and District League
