Football Wews.

A junior cup match was played on the Oval yesterday afternoon between ! teams representing the Half-Holiday \ Club (Pahnerston) and Feilding 11, ! and resulted in a win for the former by 8 points to nil. The game throughout was very even, but uninteresting as far as good football was concerned. There was no score in the first spell, when Feildina; had a slight advantage and should have scored a couple of times. In the second spell Moore scored a couple of tries for the visitors, one of which Short kicked a goal from. Both trios were obtained by dribbling rushes from the visitors' twenty-five 3, the local backs wildly kicking at the roiling ball and thus allowing their opponents to score. Mr Richards acted as referee. By their win yesterday the HalfHoliday Club secure junior championship honors, the Red Stars (Feilding) being second. The Pirates II beat Palmerston II yesterday by 4 points to nil The secretary of the Feilding Football Club has received a challenge from the Red Star Club, Masterton, to play a match at Feilding on the 30th instant. The committee of the local club will meet at Mr Sandilands' office to-morrow evening to make arrangements for this and settle other matches.
