The return (match between teams from Martinboroogh and the Greytown Fire Brigade came off on Saturday laat at the Reserve, Greytown. D. Cameron upturned tbs home team and J. looker the visitors, who bad a very weak team, only ten of those picked taming up, and out of the five absentees four were backs, the fifteen being made up by volunteers on the ground. The home team was stronger than selected, Boydhouee, Terry and C. Udy objecting to the ground selected for the representative practice matches, decided to remain at home and play for the Brigade. Two half hour spells were played. Tbe visitors won the toes and oboes tbe Western goal, thus having the sun at their backs. Cameron kicked off and a very fast game ensued, tbe ball being ruhed into tbe home turn's twenty five flag and kept there for sons time in spite of tbe efforts of Cameron, who at this stage of the game wu playing splendidly, punting, passing, and making abort dashes, being well backed «p by Ryan and Collier; 0. Hume and F. Tally, however, were quite equal to their opponents, }be former’s sorsw punting into touch gaining lots of ground. Hall way through, Terry, who was being well fed, got away and urried tbe ball well down the field, being stopped by 0. Tally a few yards from the line. ;A fierce scrimmage ensued, from which 0. Udy came with a nice dribbling rush and scored tbe coveted try for bis aide. Roydhonae took tbe plaee, out (ailed to increase the score. On tbs ball being kicked off it wu again taken into tbe homo team’s quarters, but Ryan came through with the ball at his toe, aud following np well the visitors were forced down. Half time was then called. Sidu having bun changed, Hume kicked off and Boydhouee returned into touch. Ou being thrown in Udy and Bay well got well away and were only stopped on lbs visitor’s line, a force down resulting. The visitors new rallied and made things very lively for the home team, being within an aoe of scoring several times, but the splendid collating of Terry and Boydbonse, and Burob's judicious kicking into touch, saved their side time after time. Mo further score was made, the home team winning by a try to love. For the winners, J. Terry played his level best, his. collaring and running making itfvery unpleasant for bis opponents. Burch as full back was in his plaoe, surprising every one by bis good play, considering he does not practise. Amongst the forwards J. Ryan was very conspicuous, always on the ball and paying every attention to Frank Tally and Hume. For the losers, F. and O. Tally played a good game, but they were quite overmatched and were quite lucky to keep their opponents from scoring on several occasions. Messrs Maguire and D. Balllie umpired (or Greytown and the Valley, and Mr Cox was an impartial referee.
