LEAGUE FOOTBALL

ii' ■ - STORMONT SHIELD. DEVONPORT PLAY MARISTS. The feature in League football circles to-morrow afternoon will be the Stormont Shield match for the chnmpion-of-cham-pions club 'honour, between Devonport, winners of the .club competition, and Marists, winners of the Roope Rooster competition. Both these teams have been showing the keenest rivaltry throughout the season, with Devonport securing wins in the early matches, which enabled them to carry off the club honours, but in the later games the Marists have had a run of wine. In the knock-out series Devonport went under to City, who could not keep with Marists in the final, and on thie ehowing the chances of Marists to-morrow are very etrongly favoured. At the eame, time, there lire many among followers of the game who pin their faith to Devonport's well-known ability to rise to occasions, especially against the Marist team. Aβ the partisanship on both sides is etrong, the match is certain to keep interest at a high pitch. ~ Teams are:— 'MARIST OLD BOYS.
