NEW ZEALAND DEFEATED BY GRANVILLE
AUSTRALIAN PLAYERS' SUPERIOR ATTACK.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPXRIOHT.)
SYDNEY, 24th May. Granville, the 1922 Association football champions, defeated the New Zealand team by 3 goals to one. The visitors were the first to score, as the result of a penalty for handling, Kissock finding the net. Granville . for the major portion of the first half stormed the New Zealand goal, Burke goaling from a penalty through Braithwaite handling, and Fairweather netting from a penalty for an illegal charge.
The play in the second spell was more evenly balanced, though Granville peppered their opponents' net more frequently than the New Zealanders did that of the locals. Watson drew Craxton from the goal mouth, and Winter netted the ball before the New Zealand goal-keeper could regain his position. Campbell shortly a-fterwards bustled the ball and Aitchison through the Granville goal, but the score was disallowed owing to illegal interference. There was no further score.
