CONFIDENCE IN PLAYERS.
TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] "WELLINGTON. Friday,
The Now Zealand League football team sailed by the Ulimaroa for Sydney to-day and will play the first match of its tour against Now South Wales at Sydney on July 5. At the farewell function before the team left Mr. C. Snedden, president of the New Zealand League Council, extended to the team his good wishes for its success. He said this was the 21st year since the establishment of the game in the Dominion and the team had an important trust to fulfil. Tho team symbolised youth and progress, backed by experience. Mr. A. Fergusson, one of the managers, had been prominently connected with the code since its inception and his colleague, Mr. W. J. Taylor, was tho youngest member of the New Zealand Council and well able to share tho responsibilities. League football had survived on its merits all the knocks it had received.
"We have every confidence," concluded Mr. Sneddon, "that, win or lose, you will perform well and justify the care exercised in the selection of the team."
