SOCCER

Good Standard of Play Some briglit soccer wUs seen in the two senior games on Nelson Park, Napier, on Saturday, and play was of a good standard. It is quite evident that the xecent visifc of the EngliSh soccer tea-m has helped to make an improvement in the local play. The match between Kangers and TJnited was a particularly fine game, with the McCallum brothers doing great things for Kangers and scoring a couple of goals before United woke up to the fact that they had a tally of two goals against tliem. In the se-. cond speli United made great elforts to pull the game out of the iire, and their attack brightened up considerably, but they could only succeed in notching one goal, foy which Galbraith was responsible. ' In the Y.M.C.A. game against the Watersiders, the latter lielded a rather weak team, and Y.M.G.A. dominated piay almost from the start, winning by fivo goals to One. Heatli, playing his usual fine game, was a tower of strength to the Y.M.C.A. team, and three of the iive goals came from his boot. i Kesults: — SENIOKS Kangers (2) boat United (1). — McCallum brothers kicked goals for Kangers, and Galbraith for United. Y.M.G.A. (5) beat Watersiders (1). — Scorers for Y.M.C.A. wero: Heath (3), Kigby and Mackie, while Galbraith goaicd for. Watersiders.
