S'. Albans turned out with a team weakened by the absence oi J. Soper and P. X. Qiuut.-imain, and Trinity had things all their own way. The Trinity backs and goalkeeper were merely spectators and the first spell was a succession of onslaughts by the Trinity forwards. The Trinity forwards opened their scoring account shortly after the opening bully, McCormick being responsible. Then J',. Collins added two more goals and C. Rogers one. Trinity eased up and Larfen started a St. Albana rush which was promptly stopped by B. Rogers, who put the Tiinity forwards m possession once more, and I:. Collins, A. Graham, and D. McCormick added goals before half-time, which blew with the score: Trinity' 7, St Albans 0. Trinity took matters easy in the second spell and McCormick, Graham <2'i, and C. Rogers registered goals. With only a few minutes to go, Larsen pot away and after a solo run, scored St. Albans only goal. Final scors: Trinity 11, St. Albana 1. Referees- Messrs A*. Hahn and J. Alrnonc. SELWYN v. WHAKENCT.

Sydenham attacked hotly but breaches prevented a acore. Sydenham secured a corner, which proved fruitless. Aarsity took the offensive and were rewarded when Dowds opened their total from well out. Sydenham swept downfield and from a corner, J. Anderson »«"•*»*{»* fast shot from the circle edge Sydenham came again, but Holland relieved when things looked dangerous. Some uninteresting play followed, Wells finally sending the Sydenham forwards away. M^f 0 ™ 1 * «»?* right out and Mayston dodged behmd to score easily.
