The Te Ante College (Napier) defeated the Christchuroh Club, by/6 points to"'3r^"» - ~y A most amusing thing in connection f with the junior cup match at Feilding on 4 Saturday, between the Palmerston anu^ Feilding second fifteens, was that the umpire for the latter team-had throughout the match a large pair ofspurs'jan. his boots. On one occasion (says the Standard) a roller managed to come in, coutact with the leg of a Palmerstoa " player, who, on entering a mild protest against the innovation of spurs on a football ground, was ordered to "mind his * own business." [With the exception of '. the Feilding umpire- wearing spurs, we understand the above is entirely without foundation.— JEd.- F.S.] - •' ' The following team will represent the *~ Marton Football Club in the, cup match ' against Feilding to be played in Feilding oa Saturday next :— Ward, Bear, Jack- , son, Gage, Gh Shannon. W. Shannon, Ive» son, Wdtia, Hair, Death, Stafford^Taiaroa, ThurstoB 3 Fisher and .A. Kendrick. _ The team will leave Marton by the 9730 -< train. , *" A match between the Pahnerston Mutuals and the Awabnri team was played 1 on the ground, of the latter yesterday afternoon, when the Awahuri team proved victorious by 6 points to nil. The * tries were obtained by' Watts '(2), A. • Stuart, and Gussey, one of which W. Lloyd converted into a goal. The local footballers and those" inter- v ested in the game are reminded of the ' match to be played on the oval on Satur-" day next between Marton and Feilding, ; for the Senior N Cup. Play will commence " '' . r atv34>.m v sharp, and' all players are re- • quested" to be punctual.^ We liope the- <■' local men will follow the example set by" the juniors on Saturday last,; and playfor the benefit of the whole .team. The- '* \ Mai ton team on this occasion has been, hsomewhat" strengthened by one or two- ; new players, and there will, no* doubt, hfr ~$ a good game. ' ~ '
