SATUBDAY’S GAMES. A's DEFEAT B's: For the purpose of aiding the selector in the selection of a local eleven to play against Auckland for the shield in a. fortnight's time, a trial game was substituted, in place of the senior fixtures on Saturday. After the rain of the past week the grounds were rather heavy, hot the day was perfect The trial game was a fairly spirited contest, the most conspicuous feature being the improved display of the representative team. The junior and third class competitions were continued, the results being as given below. • TRIAL t GAME. ’ A TEAM (4) v. B TEAM (0), The play from the start was decidedly dull, hut as time went on more vim was shown, and the pace,became taster. the first score resulted about half-way through the spelh. The A team forwards came away in a good combined rush, but the finishing stroke hy Salek saw the ball go over the bar. From the bully, however, Con Struck made no mistake with the shot. For a time the whites were aggressive, but they soon' died away, and another goal was quickly added to the A team’s credit. Morpeth, running out of goal, attempted to stay Loader's shot At goal, but ho missed, and Loader was enabled to find the net Davies had an opportunity subsequently, but the ball flew wid© of the, niark . Another spoil, of play in ' favour of the whites followed, but tho defence of the yellows proved equal to the occassion. At one time Murphy bad a chance, but failed to hit into an unoccupied goal. The third goal was scored just on. the call of half-time. G. Struck, taking tire ball along, parsed out to Loader, who transferred to Davies and then back to Strack, enabling him to send in a hot shot which hit As Barton's boot and glanced into tho net. , Play in the second .-spell was more evenly distributed, and good work on both sides resulted. Both sets of forward* played well, but there were not many opportunities for scoring, all full-backs performing well. Tho fourth score came late in tho second spell. Loader carried play along and passed infield to G. Strack, whose shot beat Dwyer. Messrs Carver and McKenzie were referees. JUNIOR GAMES. Wesley defeated YJitC.A, by 4 goals to 1. For Wesley P.
