HOSPITAL & SEATOUN STILL UNBEATEN

HIGH SCORING IN FIRST DIVISION GAMES

Forty-eight goals were scored by the sixteen First Division Socccr teams in championship matches in rain unci wind on Saturday afternoon. Conditions were fluky on most grounds, and football generally was not of a high standard. An exception was the principal game at the Basin Reserve, in which Seatoun, this year's promoted team, continued their triumphant progress by defeating a strong Marist eleven by 3 goals to 1, in a game of speed* science, and thrills. Hospital, the only other unbeaten team in the division, overwhelmed Petono at Porirua by 9 goals to 2.. On No. 2 ground at the Basin Reserve Diamond goal average at the expense of the plucky Swifts side, whom they defeated by 7 goals to 1, and at Kelburn Waterside beat Institute Old Boys, 2-1, in a game that might have been won by Institute. There were no surprises in the First B Division, all the strong teams winning by clear margins, though Island Bay held Technical Old Boys to only a two-goal difference, and Rovers did the same to the Lower Hutt side.
