COLTS’ MATCH MARLBOROUGH DEFEAT WELLINGTON A HARD GAME. Per Press Association. BLENHEIM, August 28. Drizzling rain fell during the fjr«t spell of the match between the Wellington colts and Marlborough to-day. making the ball somewhat heavy and elusive, but throughout the second snell the conditions were good. The Marlborough team included a large proportion of young players, and* though they lacked cohesion their dcadlv tackling upset Wellington's expectations. Wellington were almost helpless in the first spell, their combination being very ragged, but on changing ends the visitors shone both in the forwards and backs, and only determined defensive tactics by the tiring team kept them from knocking up a big score. At. half-time Hie honours were with Malborough by five points to three, and the game concluded with the score at twelve to nine in Marlborough’s favour. For tho winners Washington scored two tries, one being converted by Lamason, while Aston scored a netted goal. For Wellington Peterson. Williams, and Cowdcll score tries. The visitors play Nelson on Wednesday. The casualties on the Marlborough *.ide were heavy. J. O’Brien, the captain, and Lamnson had to leave the field, while Litchfield. Dorset, and Fawcett received minor injuries. The visitors escaped unscathed.
