SAXONS V. NORMANS.
A DRAWN GAME
The two local teams, Saxons and Normans, again met at the Victoria Park on Wednesday afternoon, in the presence of a large number of spectators. A very fast and well contested game resulted, both teams showing good combination throughout. Repeated attacks put either team on the defensive at regular intervals, and it was only to be expected that the actual result should be so even. In the first half, play, if anything, was in favour of the Normans, but in actual play there was but little difference. The scores stood at — Normans 2 Saxons I
[n the second spell the same even play was continued, but the Saxons had a slight advantage and the final whistle found the scores — Normans 2 Saxjns 2 The scores were secured by Normans : j. McGover." I, Phillies I. Saxons: C. Davis I, j. Anderson I. Mr j. H. Ansel! controlled the game' and gave every satisfaction. Had this game gone in favour of the Saxons it would have completed the competition for the caps presented by Mr W. G. Abbott. The present position of the two teams is : Saxons—2 wins I draw. Normans —2 losses I draw,
