SENIOR A GRADE

KARORI A UNDEFEATED. Karori A secured another victory after a close even game against Wesley on their own ground. From the outset the contest was fast and keen, with Karori slightly more on the attack than their opponents. Kobb opened Karon's account after about a quarter of an hour's play, by shooting an unexpected one past the Wesley custodian just after the latter had warded off an attack from another direction. Wesley retaliated in practically the same way, an attack from one side of the net being toltowed up by Brown scoring from the other. Roberts netted again for Karori before the spell, making the score 2 goals to 1 in favour of Karori. Even play lasted until near the close of the second spell, when Karori made a last minute dash, and Whitwell netted. Wesley did not score again in this half, and the game ended 3-1 in Karori's favour. Mr. W. Keys was referee. HUTT BEAT WELLINGTON. Hutt showed a.sudden return to form at the Kecreation Ground against Wellington and secured their second win this season. me work of the suburban forwards was outstanding,' and showed a big improvement over that of the last few weeks Wellington were as much off form as the -opponents were in form, and their attacks continually went astray. By half-time, the score stood at 2 ig oals to nil in favour ot llutt, but m the: second spell, the visitors made an effort, and equalised. Hutt proved too strong for them, however, and scored two more goals before the end of the game. The final telly read: t" '* n f?->\ our of-Hutt,' their scorers being Lusty 13) and Smith. Mr. H. Hatef was reteree.
