From Our Own Correspondent Football Club. The annual ipeeting of the Rongotea Football Club was held on Wednesday when Mr W. A. Davison presided over a splendid attendance of members. The credit of £l4 3s disclosed by the balance sheet was deemed to be most satisfactory in view of the unusual number of accidents, which constituted a serious drain on the funds. The president, Mr W. A. Da-vison, then read the report, which recorded that the year proved a most successful one. Thanks were due to the secretary for the capable manner in which he carried out his duties, to the referee«s, to Mr A. Trenkner for lending his car, to those who gave donations, and to the ladies. A ball and a social evening were held during the season and both proved successful.
