SYDENHAM v ADDINGTON.
A friendly match between these clubs took place on the Addiugton ground on Saturday afternoon, and resulted in a win for the senior team by two- goals and two tries (eight paints) to nil. The game was fast from start to finish, some good football being shown on both sides. The Addington forwards played a grand game throughout, following up and packing smartly, but the team all through were on the light side. The Sydenham backs played in their usual style, but the forwards as a whole were very slow, and picked the ball up too much.
