Tho match was played in heavy rain and tho few spectators who braved the elements were rewarded with a game of many bright individual efforts, but almost entirely lacking in combined play.

The teams lined out as follow: —Woodville: Murray, Burliss, Lloyd, Beale, Warnick, E. Beale, Brandon, Halford, Kinley, Walker, Banks, Sargeant, Blatchford, Court, Canton. Ashhurst: K.
