GAMES AT WINTON. CENTRAL v. WINTON. (From Our Correspondent). Under fine weather conditions at Winton on Wednesday evening, the first inter-club game between the two local clubs—Central and Winton—was played on the former’s green and ended in a draw—the scores being 109 all. The green was on the bare side, and has been greatly affected by the dry spell. At the conclusion of play Mr Bradley, president of the Winton Club, thanked the Central members for the enjoyable game that had been provided. Mr F. Tilley, president of the Central Club, suitably replied. The scores were as follows:—

Under gloriously fine weather conditions on Thursday afternoon, a match between a rink of Winton and a rink of Central ladies, in the Rose Bowl competition was played on the former club’s green. The contest was an exceedingly close one, the Central ladies continuing their unbroken run of successes and running out the victors by a two-point margin. The Central rink was always behind in the scoring, it being only on the second last head that they took the lead at all.

By scoring on the next three heads Central decreased the margin to one, the scores being 11-10 against them on the 12th.
