The Auckland forwards asserted themselves toward *he end and gave their opponents a busy time on defence. Wellington was unfortunate in losing a goal through one of its players kicking the ball into the net. On the general run of the play Auckland had the better of it and deserved its win by two goals to one. Misses Jurd and Bilham scored for Auckland and Miss Wapp registered Wellington's goal.

Another Wellington attack was checked by North and then the Auckland forwards ..transferred play to the other end of the field. The -movement ended in Thompson scoring. After some fast up and down play Tizard (Auckland) narrowly missed with an angle shot. At half-time the scores were level—one goal each. Auckland commenced the second spell vigorously and a series of attacks ended in Wotherspoon goaling. Wellington rallied but it was not long before Auckland was back again, and 'Thompson found the net. Another Auckland goal from a corner was disallowed on account of sticks. However, just before time was called Tizard netted a goal, and the game ended: Auckland, 4; Wellington, 1.
