GOALLESS DRAW AT NEW LYNN.

The pace was fast from beginning to end of the match between New I.ynn and Oneiiunga, at New Lynn. The players of both teams were anxious for the points, and that is probably the reason for the goalless result. The sides were evenly matched, and the game brought out smue worth-while individual play in addition to several pleasing combined movements.'.! Both .goalkeepers had an unusually heavy ■ share of tight moments. For Xew I.ynn Morris was safe enough. ITis long clearance kicks were often the beginning of a solid attack by his forwards. In front of him Held and Munro showed good form, and studied their front men. Watson was not seen at his best. The slippery turf slowed him up. However, the bulk of the work in the half line fell to Jones and Twinn. On several occasions their team might have had a better chance of scoring if the front line had combined with them more. McGrory played inside right, and Stewart made another appearance on the outside. The hitter's kick In the ankle lamed him badly for the last half. McGrory made some good efforts by himself, but he could not be relied on to bo in his right position, tending to wander I in among the •halves. Hamilton and the two Carrs played well, but at times missed badly. Over keenness spoiled many a promising attack. Sometimes they shot without direction, and sometimes they held on •too long. Credit must be given to Rlrchall. Onehuuga goalkeeper, whose resource in the face of the New Lynn attacks was unfailing. Blockley, at right back, put in some Pretty 'work, and knew his job thoroughly. Webster worked well with him. The three i) s In the half-line—Donaldson. Dick, and Davis —seemed to initiate most of the forward movements of the Onehunga D'cn. Forrester, Woodiiall, and Wilson in the forwards had more of the ball than the outside men, hut in attack they failed in the same way as their opponents. '1 en minutes before time the game looked ns though it would fizzle out In a series of defensive linekicks by Onehilnga, but play brightened up again, to finish at a beetle pace with Isew Lynn aggressive.
