On Wednesday tne xfalcombe ladies' team met and defeated the United combination by two goals to one. The game, which was played at Halcombe, was an interesting contest and drew quite a crowd of spectators. Tho homo team could field only nine players and it speaks well for them that despito this handicap they were able to defeat tho visitors. At half-time the score was 2—l in Halcombe’s favour. The nine players, having established a lead, held grimly to their advantage and successfully kepi their opponents at bay, though they were unable to add to their score. The game ended without further goals being scored. Messrs R. Searancke and T. Iwikau refereed.
