A HEFTY BOOT

Hooper Shoots 'Em In For Seacliff

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Duneclin Hep.) WHICHEVER way .one looks at the , position now, SeaclifC are certainties to have their name engraved on the Soccer Fletcher Cup m Dunerlin this season. ' „ • The blues paddled through the mud' to hand the knockout to their opponents, Mornington. The Hill team were never m .the hunt. The ground favored the Seacliff eleven and the going soon found out Mornington, who had not had a game the previous week. SeaclifTs five front liners have all hefty and direct boots, but Bill Hooper was the "star" on this occasion, the centre netting the bag of three. Even if Mosgiel beat Seacliff next ' Saturday — and that is a distinct improbability ' judging on their recent form — the Hospital eleven will still be level with Technical Old Boys,' and they are morals to soundly whack Tech should a play-off be necessary-. The Charity Cup competition looks like being side-tracked this season. .' The Chatham Cup matches upset the senior series and protracted the season, which is now gasping for breath.
