ABERTILLERY AND CROSS KEYS IF NOT STRONG OPPOSITION I? ALL BLACKS’ FOURTH MATCH. (By the “Advocate” Special Correspondent.) LONDON, September 25. When the All Blacks played Abertillery and Cross Keys they * ir iet a team of real sports, if not the strong opposition they expected to tneet. ine game was played on the nicest field, or pitch as it is called over here, that they are likely to play on' during this tour. The park at Abertillery is In a valley, and the side o£ Arael Mountain slopes almost to the toucl - line, thus giving ample room foi accommodation ol the 20,000 people present. This, by the way is a record crowd for the town.'' The ground drains into a pretty little stream, ana although it rained solidly all the previous day, the field was fairly .dry tor the game. Australian flags adorned the tops of one pair of goal posts, in the absence of the blue. The game opened rather raggedly but developed into the best to date. New Zealand showed some of her real football at last, and x should say there was no Welshman on the ground who was not more than satisfied.
