FRIENDLY GAMES PLAYED. As a preliminary canter to the Julian Cup competition, which will commence next week, several friendly soccer matches were played in North Taranaki
on Saturday. At Fitzroy Albion and Moturoa tried conclusions,, with the result that new material on both sides showed promise of good football and keen competition during the season. On the new ground at Waitara a very keen and interesting game resulted in Waitara winning by three goals to one. In the first spell good movements were set up on both sides, but two much hanging on to the ball by the Pirates’ forwards spoilt what might have resulted in goals. On the other hand fast, open combination was a feature of the Waitara team’s play and it was soon seen that it was by far the fitter team. Under the skillful captain, J. Wilson, future opponents will find Waitara will have to be held in respect. Defending _ for Pirates, .J. Ashton played a sterling game at left-back. The team was well served by Anderson, Oscroft and Pankhurst. Waitara had a wonderful defence for its first game, thanks to Davis, Henderson and T. Wingrove. Ashley was an outstanding man at right half, and should hold his own -against all opponents. At half time the teams were changed by the inclusion of new men. The game became fast and open. Goals for Waitara were scored by J. Wilson, Lobban and Wingrove, and for Pirates by A- Anderson. Mr. J. Chapman was the referee. The teams were:— Waitara: Jones; Davis, Henderson; Ashley, Wingrove, W. Latimer; Lucas, Lobban,' Wilson, Williams, Latimer.
