SUBURBS (6 goals) V. GREY LYNN (2 goals).

Morrin and Sayers faced off. Even and uninteresting- play occupied the first ten minutes, the superior combination of the Suburbans told the tale, and before half spell two goals were posted to their credit, by the aid of Morrin and Walker. Second Spell: Grey Lynn fought the issue out stubbornly. E. Bradly by clever play threw two goals, and had it not been for selfish, play* on the part of his brother, their score would have been much larger. Four more goals were added to Suburbs' total (Foubister 1, Walker 3.) Mr W. B. Eyre had charge of the game to the entire satisfaction of all. NOTES. The Grafton-Parnell match calls for little comment. On the whole both teams performed very disappointingly. For Grafton, Graham was In good fettle, and was responsible for nearly all their score. Wilson, Ashton and Roberts were the pick of the defence, and I-lardingham, Luckie and Hill did great service on the attack. The Parnellites seemed to be a bit nervous, as it was their first/appearance on No 1 ground. At centre, Ruddock greatly troubled his vis-a-Vis Stewart. Ward and Fenn played safe games, but were very poorly backed up by the rest of the defence On attack Denniaon, Lennox and Moore-Jones were at times conspicuous for good play. The Ponsonby-North Shore match was distinctly even. The former's defence was faultless, and White in goal saved repeatedly, Nolan at cover point played a sound serviceable game throughout. Of the others E. Mason and Gallaher were nerhaps the best. The two attack wings Dlayed far too close Into the centre, and roamed about too much. Peacock did not show up as much as usual. Third home does not suit this clever player. With one exception—that was when ponsonby scored-Eagleton in goal did all that was asked of him. Ward was a host in himself at third man, and was undoubtedly the best back on the ground. Alexander used good judgment, and paid great attention to Anderson. A Watson has Improved wonderfully. He'days very coolly and unselfishly. M-u-tin Walker and Johnstone indulged in far too much hocltey play. The game at times was far too rough, and.the referee let some of the offenders off far too ca firey Lynn, considering tho di^advan-tie-fq they are under, made a creditable Say against Sububs,. White, Patterson and Whitehouse worked hard on the defence and E. Bradly, Treston Sayers and PosseV on the attack. Foubister was a success, when in goal for Suburbs in the first half. Morrin, Kendall, Owen Herrold and Brown (2) were always in the thick of it, and did good service A special meeting of delegates and players will bo held in the Amateur Ibarts Club on Tuesday evening at 8 S™ when the question "Should a third ?ound be played," will be finally decided.
