The match Pirates Second v. Caversham was played on the Carisbrook ground on Saturday, .and after a toughly-contested game ended in a win for Caversham by 1 goal and 1 try (4 points) to nil. For the Pirates, H. Stronach, Cotterill, Fleming, Ivens (backs), Hislop, Milne, Williams, Halliwell, F. Stronach (forwards) played well; and for Caversham all the forwards, Geddis especially, and A. Lang, Wildey, Clarke, and Bremner (backs) did good work. Messrs Jackman (Pirates) aud Hogg (Caversham) were the umpires, and Mr H. Rose acted as referee.
The match Zingari-Richmoud Second v. Gordon First was a fair example of one of those unsatisfactory games wherein the umpires are directly opposed iv their decision as to a score and the referee declines to vouohsafe any judgment whatever. This state of things is fortunately confined to junior matches. Both clubs put strong teams in the field, and though not much science was shown the game was a pretty hot one. The game ended without any score except a disputed goal. For the Colours, Honeyman, M'Dougal, and Budge, and for the Gordon, Kircaldy, Ash, and Coull showed up best ; while Farquharson and Rallingshaw werethe pick of the backs, both being deservedly applauded, the former for some fine runs and the Zingari-Richmond man for two splendid shots at goal from mid-field. The Montrose First defeated the Leith First by 1 goal and 1 try (4 points). The game in the first spell was pretty even. Early in the second spell,' by a splendid run, Little obtained a try and M'Namara,'who took the kick out, failed to increase the score. Shortly after Little again got possession of the leather and potted a goal. The match Annandale v. Maori Hill resulted in a win for the Annadale by 5 points to 3. Robinson (2) backs, and Watson and Tomkins, forwards, played well for the Annandale, as did M'Lennan and Sinclair for the Maori Hill.
Ravensbourne v. Red Rose. — The former won by 3 points to nil — the Ravensbourne being strengthened by six of their First. Messrs Fergusson and Mitchell's employes proved to be too expert at the game in their match against the employes of the Daily Times, and won by 5 tries to nothing. A Wellington telegram states that the return football match between Wairarapa and Wellington, played at Greytown, resulted in a rather easy win for Wairarapa by 1 goal and 2 points to nil. The Wellington team was a weak one.
