WELLINGTON BEATEN

CLUB RIVALRY

During the week-end a friendly match was arranged between the Wellington and Newtown Clubs, the A teams playing at the Wellington courts and the B teams at the Newtown courts. As there were several notable absentees, the results cannot be taken as a test of club strength. Some very close contests were seen, producing at times tennis of a good standard. Lunch was provided at the courts, and the players spent a successful day. Both rubbers were won by Newtown, which club took 9 matches to 7 in the A teams encounter and 12 matches to 2 in the B teams meeting. i Results follow, Wellington Club players being mentioned first:— A Teams.
