DISTRICT COMPETITIONS. UNITED A. BEATEN. The West Coast Cricket Association’s competition for the Wingham Cup, was continued on Saturday. The weather was beautifully fine early, but late in the day became cold and steady rain fell for about half an hour. The rain did not stop play, but seriously interfered with the bowlers. Heavy rain yesterday prevented the continuance of the Wingham Shield competition. On Saturday, United B caused a mild surprise by defeating United A. on the first innings. Highly successful bowling by G. Simmonds, who secured 7 wickets for 20 runs for the B. team, was the feature of ’the match. Marist and Cobden played an uninteresting draw at Cobden. United' A lead the principal competition with 6 points, followed by Marist with 5 points.

UNITED B'S VICTORY. In a match that was notable for low scoring, United B. defeated United A. by 17 runs on the first innings. United A. batted first, and collapsed for 54, before the bowling of Simmonds, who secured, seven wickets for 20 runs off 17 overs. Swinburn 17 was the only batsman to reach double figures, all the recognised batsmen failing. United 8., aided by Mann 27 and Peek 17, compiled 71 in their strike, Rapley taking five wickets for 26.
