' teams .in the junior and third competitions, and it is pleasing to see that the club fully justified entry into the higher grade, as they were runners-up to'Petonein the junior championship, only being one point behind them, a position which the club can feel proud ot. After some 'difficulty the third grade team fulfilled their first engagement, but on account of the great response to the Empire's call from members of tjie team the club ivas compelled to withdraw from this competition..
