■ A Junior Cup match was played on the-Oval on Saturday "afternoon, between a- team frotn Bulls and the Feilding j seconds. The local team won by 1 point ' (a try scored by Hodges) to nil, after an ; exciting game, the visitors haying, if anything, rather the best of the game, arid were dangerous at times. The match between the Ponekes (Wellington) and Palmerstqn, played at Palmerston yesterday, was won Jby the former by 3 points (a goal from a try) to 2 (a goal from a penalty kick), after an evenly contested game. „ The Athletics were defeated by a team from Greytown by 4 points to'l. •The Masterton Club defeated the WeiClub by 3. goals and 3 -tries to 1 goal. The Feilding School boys journeyed to Bulls yesterday to play the boys of that school. The former team won the match by 4 poiuts to nil. Yesterday afternoon a fifteen chosen from the Feilding Club played all-comers, who numbered about twenty-five, including several novices. After a well-contested game, the fifteen were successful by 5 points (3 tries and a goal kicked from the field) to nil. The game was not so onesided as the scoring may represent, the all -comers on several occasions being near, scoring. The passing of the fifteen was very wild, and it appeared as though some of the players wanted to get rid of the ball regardless of where they threw it. - The following team has been selected to represent the- Feilding Club in the Senior Cup match against Palmerston, to be played at Feilding on Saturday next : -^Full-back, Joe Robinson-; three-quart ters, A. Parr, John Robinson and Dyer ; half-back, Harnier, Cornwall, Strachan ; forwards, R. and J» Whisker, H. Keightly,Nicholson, Matravers, Graham, Stuart and C, Bray ; emergencies, Galway, W.
