Australians Too Good For South Island Minor Associations
(P.A.) Timaru, Aug. 22 The science and skill of the soccer played by the Australian team gave them an overwhelming advantage over the South Island Minor Associations, which suffered defeat by 11 goals to nil at Timaru.
The positional play of the visitors gave them a monopoly of the ball and the forwards had a feast, the centre, F. Parson, scoring four goals. The Association’s half-back line too often kicked indiscriminately, and the home forwards had to work for the ball. The defence and the cover defence of the Australians was more than adequate to keep their goal intact.
For Australia the scorers were: F, Parsons (4), J. Cunningham and A, Johns two each, J. Marston, J. Hodge and R. Hughes, one each.
