LEAGUE CLUB EVENTS.
Marist Still Lead—Defeat of Newton—Tykes Backs in Form —Revitalised Shore —Close Game with Ponies—City Down Kingsland—Win for Richmond.
Calculations were in no way upset at Carlaw Park to-day when the League club games went smoothly on their way. Newton were billed with Marist, the leaders in the senior championship, for the principal game of the day, but -the brightest exhibition was provided on the opposite ground by Ponsonby and Devonport. Fielding many of their old stalwarts, Shore put up a great tussle, but fitness told in the end, and Ponies won by a narrow margin. Speed, superior collaborative effort and experience were the factors that turned the tide in favour of Marist, but, though the latter piled up a big tally, the margin of over twenty points difference between the teams was hardly indicative of the true merits of the two thirteens. In the Curtain-raiser, KingslandAthletics went down gamely against City, while out at Grey Lynn Richmond deserved victory over Ellerslie.
