The F team, which is. also in the A grade,; put up a really good fight against High School A, suffering a defeat by 2.t0 1, and were very unlucky ,in not making it a drawn game. M. Wakelin, by a fine piece of play, scored for the "Greens." The B grade match was also well contested, but the Brothers' boys proved too good for Caversham, winning by 3 goals to nil. L. Roughan, A.. Smith, and I. McKenzie each sored 1 goal. In the C grade the D team defeated High School D by .5 goals to 1. J. Cullen (3), B. Burrell and G. Clarke (a penalty) were the successful goal kickers.
