ELEVEN GOALS,

After having led 4-2 in the first half, Marist were beaten by Waterside, the fanal score being 6-5. The game was played in a strong wind, which was very gusty at times, and in the second spell play was in Watersiders' half on two or three occasions only. Marist scored their last goal in the final couple of minutes, and then very nearly equalised. ' Kelly, one of the Marist's backs, was injured, and the team played the-entire second spell with ten men only. The teams were as follows:— , Waterside.—Ogg; Abernethy, Bolton; M'Lellan, Haines, Cummings; Dunlop, Dunsmuir, Longbottotn, Ferguson, Culleu. Marist.—Turkington; Kelly, Wilson; Burke, Bird, Quirke; Barton, Laracy, W. Condon, Scott, Hawken. Referee.-r-Mr. J. (Sanderson.

Each was from a corner taken by Barton, Scott heading the first, and Condon netting the second by shooting from closo quarters. Marist 2, Waterside 0. A few minutes later the Marist forward line went down to the goal in another rush. Condon | again had a glorious opportunity, but when he shot- from close quarters Ogg brought off a good save. The Marist defence was tried for a while, but it was not long before Waterside were again on the defensive. The Marist' van again swept down, and when Hawken centred, Condon scored rather easily. Marist 3, Waterside 0. Following a period of even play, Waterside developed a movement on the right which lead to a goal. A high .dropping shot was. caved, but not cleared, by Turkington, and in the rebound, Ferguson netted. Marist 3, Waterside 1. Play close to the Marist goal almost brought a score, but the final effort made by Ferguson was weak. Within a short time Waterside had again netted. A nice effort by Cullen resulted in play being taken up to Marist's goal. The winger transferred to Ferguson, who in turn sent the leather to the centre, and Lqngbottom shot. Turkington apparently misjudged the strength of the cross-Wirid,-.and the ball found the net. Marist 3, Waterside. .2. The. game continued to be fast and bright;-and the next goal, which fell to Marist, came rather unexpectedly. When the leather came in from the Marist leffc wing, a Waterside back back-heeledj and Condon came up quickly to take 'advantage of a mistake, sending home a 'stinging shot. Marist 4, Waterside 2. Half-time was called shortly ■after-wards.— '.. _ ... . Waterside attacked, on. the.resumption of play, and a shot from Dunsmuir was turned for a corner by Turkington.
