SIX-A-SIDE COMPETITIONS

RECORD ENTRY OF TEAMS The Association football season opened on Saturday with six-a-sido competitions in all grades.

The first division attracted 14 entries. The final brought Thistle and Marist A in opposition, and resulted in a wellcontested game. Thistle won by 2 goals to nil. despite the strenuous efforts of their opponents. For the second division there were ten entries.
