Milson

From Our Own Correspondent. A football match was played on the Milson ground during the week-ond between the Seventh and Eighth Batteries for the Battery Cup, previously held by the Seventh Battery. Just after the kick-off Gardener secured the ball and potted a goal for Eighth. Up and down plav followed, until a passing rush ended in Ford registering a try. Gardener kicked the goal, putting Eighth-nano point 3 up. Seventh made a bold attempt and held play in Eighth’s 25 for sometime, but bad passing handling .and passing prevented a score. Half time sounded with Eighth clearing their territory. After the interval the Sevenths took play to their opponents' , end* hut Eighth retaliated, Whitehead adding another try. Gardener’s kick failed. Eighth 12—0. Up and down play followed, Eighths seing more of the ball. From a line-out Findlay secured and, beating most of his opponents, passed out to Gardener, who scored another try but failed to add the major points. Close play followed until a free kick gave Seventh a chance at goal, _ and Moore made no mistake. Eighth lo 3. This seemed to give Seventh heart. They secured another free kick, which found the line, and from a line-out the Sevenths took the ball at foot for Mitchell to notch a try, Philp kicking ,a good goal. Eighth 15 —8. The .Eighths put on another bpurt and Kingsbeer grebbed the leather, for another try, Gardener’s kick failing. Eighth 18—8.
