SOCCER.
Championship Points. The following is calculated up to today :
The above table gives Y.M.A.O. a lead of six points over G.T.A., and, although they have played a game more, it really seems that Y.M. will annex the cup for another season.
To-day’s Matches. Taruheru v. Y.M.A.C., at Taruheru. Referee, Mr. Mieliie. Kick-off 3.15 sharp. G.T.A. v. County, replayed match from Ist round. Referee, Mr. fe'yo. Hoore; at Reserve, kick-off 3.15 sharp.
Comment::. When County turned out against Y.M.A.C. last Saturday, it was easily seen that the inclusion of the brothers Stone and others from the defunct Turanganui Club, would be a strengthening to their side.
This proved to be the case, ixnli Stones playing a hard, bustling game.
Frank Sharp was a tower of strength at centre-half for County, and could not be improved upon on the day.
Altogether the County men put up a good fight, as the final score —2 to 1 in favor of Y.M.—goes to prove.
The first game between these teams resulted in a walk-over for the Cupholders by 12 goals to 1. So it cannot be denied that a great- change has overtaken County.
Y.M.A.C.’s new outside left did not come up to expectations. He certainly did not justify the high opinion expressed in him, and I do not expect he will displace another member of tlie team.
James, at inside right, certainly played well, and his penalty kick last Satin'd ay -was a good one.
It seems that the junior competition lias gone to pieces.
What with the teams turning out short of men and the failure of the referee to put in an appearance, the juniors do not get - much encouragement.
If the Napier lads are coming to Gisborne later, something should be done to have engagements fulfilled, and things carried out properly.
Many of our juniors are enthusiastic and turn out regularly, but are handicapped because of the default-
