KARORI A AGAIN

Karori A continued on their winning ■way by accounting for Wellington to.the iiiue of 4 goals to 1. Most of the;lvalon attacka, in the fiist spell were down the loft, Brrone, the inside left, goneiallj diawiug !Mason, the Wellington right fullback, out of position and allowing J. Larnach,- the ning-foiwaid, to centie. The Wellington foi^ardb v did tiot combine effects ely duung the first spell, and about haU-way thiough the Kaion vanguaid passed the Wellington defence, in -which Newport was doing good woik, and Tattled on three:goals in quick succession, It. • Watchman.'scoring two goals aiid Browne one. At half-time the scoie was Karori 3, Wellington "0. Wellington showed improvement m the second spell, and the honoms were fairly even. Guy, the Wellington custodian, easily stopped 'the ball from a coiner, and the Wellington torwards attacked down the right flank but failed to connect, the ball passing eveiy hnan in the cncle. Hull, the Karon right full-back, was playing a iemarkable game, and with Spiers alongside him let very little throug\. The Wellington attacks down the centre lnvariabl} came to him and wgre repulsed. McDonald, the Kaion right-wing, made a spectacular run from lialf-vray, but shot too early and Guy cleared without difficulty. Karori then had to concede a coiner, fiom which Spiers cleared, and the Kaioii foi»aids went away, Larnach and Adams keeping Guy busy for some time. A clearance by Burton, the Wellington left fullback, rehe\ed the pressure, and a goal against Karori seemed likely, but Ferguson, centre-forward, was penalised for lifting the ball o\er the head of a Kaion back and play returned to mid-field. A little later Watchman scored, the. prettiest goal of the match with a revei se stipk flick shot. In the closing stages Ferguson capped a Wellington,thrust with a lunge which sent the ball into the net. Karoii A i, Wellington
