B. • J : SCHOOL MATCHES. ; . .The. first games of the season were played bn the Cobden Domain ou Sat-, uS-day, two grounds being' available, and four games were finished. The game, Runanga v. Grey Main was of a rather- scraggy nature, the players tending to bunch too much. Runanga won by three goals (Maskill two; and Duggan) to one (Bennett). Tho Cobden v. Marist’ match was also not up to. standard, bunching again being too prevalent. CObden were successful by one goal (L. Uddstrom) to nil. Runanga and Marist met next", and play was more open. The ball travelled rapidly up and down the field and the boys showed better form. Runanga were the winners by five goals • (Maskill three, Johnston and Mundy) to one (Jackson). The final game was between Cobden add Grey Main, both teams.being even-, ly matched, and again better form was shown. Cobden won by one. goal, scor- . ed by K. Inglis, to nil. ■ Next Saturday, the junior competition will commence on the- same.ground at 10 a.m. ■ AT OTHER CENTRES. '• ..;'. Auckland, June.is.
