Southern have a good, all-round team, "and are expected to give a good account of themselves this season. Alhambra did not show up as well as usual last Saturday, but they should improve as the season progresses. At Bishopscourt University B will meet Zingari. Both these teams are capable of playing bright, open football, and a well-contested game should be witnessed. At Tahuna Park University A will meet I'aiefi.

In the second round of matches in the Fletcher Cup competition two good games have been set down for decision at the Caledonian Ground to-day„ Mornjngtqn will meet Technical Old Boys in the early game, and a keen Contest may be expected, as both teams won their respective matches last Saturday. The meeting of the two country teams, Seacliff and Kaitangata, in the following game is being looked forward to with a great deal of interest. In the past these teams could always be relied upon to serve up good football, and no doubt there will be a good crowd present to welcome the reappearance of. the Ka.itangata players in the competition. This will be their first appearance on a local ground since linking, up again with the association after a lapse of seven .years. Other matches of the round are; Northern v.
