Wellington Inter-Club Matches SATURDAY’S RESULTS Conditions for play were ideal on Saturday when the Wellington Lawn Tennis Association’s inter-club matches were continued at Miramar. Wellington secured a one-set victoriy over Newtown in the senior A men’s grade, and the Thorndon Club beat Newtown in the senior women’s grade. In the senior A men’s grade, the position between New town B and Wellington B is interesting; the result will depend on one doubles yet to be played. Playing for the first time this season for the Wellington Club. D. C. Coombe was beaten in straight sets by N. Edwards, Newtown’s number one player. The match was not nearly as good as that in which T. Lyons beat E. Roussell. Lyons was aggressive where Roussell was defensive, his smashing of Roussell’s many short lobs being brilliant. Rousseff's vollying lacked decisiveness. Following are the results: — SENIOR A MEN. Newtown B V. Wellington B. This match is unfinished.
