Both sides attacked well, and looked like scoring several times, but tlio defence of . each team was solid. Bright and Grieve played hard to score for the Kias, but the City backs, Armstrong and Doyle/ .saved for their side several times. Corbett, Day, and Bull tried hard to get- first blood, but the Kia Kalla backs, Garrett and Pettio, I'fustratud their attempts. Kniblis bad a good shot at goal, but the hall went outside tlio not. At the end of the first spell there was no score. In tiie second spell the Kia men passed well, and got. the bail into City’s circle, where Bright, with a lucky hit,' sent it into their net':" Although both teams worked hard no further score resulted.

WEST END 2 V. TE lIAU 1. This game as expected was liardi'ought from start to finish, and from the bully-off the ball went up and down the field, showing that things were very lively, and that each team was bent on being victorious. After some good passing Pine got the ball in West End’s circle when he promptly'shot it into the net. After the next bully, Hooper, with some fast play, took the ball into Te Rail’s circle, but Baker with a nice hit sent the ball out of dangerous territory. From a line hit Roderick shot a goal. West End followed up tlieir success, and soon afterwards Hooper gftfc another goal. Cockerill, Davy, and Pine took the ball well into West End’s twenty-five, but Olsen and Roderick broke up tlieir combination, and prevented them doing any damage.
