The : weather was ideal for football, but j the grounds were a trifle heavy and ■ greasy. j Much interest was taken in the ; Fairlie-Aorangi match, and there was ; a good attendance of the public, who ' were treated to a good fast game. ; The result created a surprise, as : Aorangi were not up to full strength, but they had paid more attention , to training than their opponents, and this saved them from defeat. Had j their goal kicking been up to the ' usual standard they would have had s a few more points tp their credit. : The following is the positions of the teams in the championship:—
