Caldwell and Lamont. The B match was lively, with the issue uncertain until the last few minutes, when Buller twice scored, and won by 6 to 5. The scorers for Buller were Woodward and Farr (each three goals), and for Nelson Silk (2), Weldon and McKegney (2). The visitors were entertained in the evening. ENGLISH WOMEN’S TEST.
