WESLEY BEAT WELLINGTON

Wesley were more than a match for Wellington,, and play in both spells was more or less confined to the latter's territory. Within a few minutes, Guy, Wellington's custodian, was called upon to defend his i«t, Browne sending in a fast shot which Guy sent behind with a remarkable save. The Wesley forwards had most of the ball in the subsquent play and Browne was more lucky with his next attempt, beating Guy by inches for a corner of the net. Wesley 1, Wellington 0. Armstrong was dangerous for Wellington after the next bully, but Chantrell, Wesley's fine English centre-half, transferred to Rouse. The latter centred well to Johnston, who made no mistake with 'his.shot. Wesley 2, Wellington 0. ■ Early in the second spell, Boys, Wesley's custodian, fell in averting a shot and blocked the Wellington forward, a penalty bully against the former being successfully taken by Stuart.
