The Auckland Football Association’s championship competitions were continued on Saturday, when considerable improvement was noticed in the play, compared with the opening day. The principal attraction on the Eden ground was the Corinthians v. Caledonians match, and a very fast game saw the Corinthians emerge victorious by three goals to one. Harvey, McLaren, and Rose netted goals for the Corinthians, while Whittle was responsible for the Caledonians’ score. ♦ * * * The North Shore v. Y.M.C.A. match proved fast and even from beginning to end, the game going to North Shore by three goals to two. Sutherland was responsible for two of North Shore’s goals and Johnson one, while for Y.M.C.A. Brown scored one, the other being the result of a scramble in front of the North Shore goal. * * « * The W.Y.M.I. v. Ponsonby match proved a very even and strenuously fought out game, and resulted in a victory for the former by two goals to nil. Gribble and Winks were the scorers. The Ponsonby team played well, but ill-luck seemed to be with them all through.
