WESLEY AND HUTT DRAW

A dia-wn game was plajed by Wesley and Hutt, the latter team scoring dunus; the first1 half and Wesley in, the second spell. On the form shown Wesley should have won and would have done so if some excellent opportunities had not bfen missed.

Ihe game was never speetaculai' at any stage and play was slow until well on m the second spell when both teams made energetic efforts to rfet a decisive shot. Ihe,Wesley players showed sounder combination than- Hutt and had the better of the mid-field play, but they could not finish off their passing lushes. The Hutt fieldwork was moie spirited than Wesley's but was negatived far too often /by oveteageiness, players frequently hampering a team-mate instead of supporting him. In the close woik Hutt snowed a fairly solid defence, mainly because of too close play, the Wesley defence giving scope for'much better work while remaining reasonably safe. , '

- 3?he game was played on Ko. 8. ground, which was heavy near the fence,-- slipping bejng common on N that side. Penalties were" much too numerous but were mainly due to over-eagerness, the general ,condti?t of the players in both teams being Iv ccllent Burnett, the centre forward, scored for Hutt and Simpson netted Wesley's goal. Messrs. W. G. Purvey and K. D. Campbell were the referees
