HUTT v. WESLEY.
; Wesley did very little towards showing that they even had a chance of defeating Hutt, in spite of the fact that they were considerably strengthened by the addition.of Cartwright, an ex-Huia player, and Doonin, a representative man from Hawkes Bay. Hutt held the upper ! band m all departments, and outclassed! tne town men to the tune of 3 goals to nil. Wesley's main fault lay in the aimless and hard hitting policy adopted by their forwards, who time and time again opened up promising, movements, only to nullify their own efforts by slogging the ball anywhere and everywhere. The Red forwards played ■ 'splendidly, and showed that they have a splendid knowledge of. each other's play, while Harvey, the-'goal-keeper, was always between the ball;and the net. Wesley were one down it half-time, A. Webley having netted a good goal, and.Smith and R. Lusty each found the net in the latter portion of the match. The result of the game was Bever in doubt. The referee was Mr. A. Needham.
