Juniors
Foxton (6) v. Shannon (3)
FOXTON v. SHANNON,
The Foxton and Shannon junior teams met on the local racecourse on Saturday, and after a very interesting game the local team were victorious by six points to three. The score is a very fair indication of the strength of the teams on the day’s play. Foxton's score was made up of a penalty goal by Howe and a try by W. Coley, and Shannon’s score was a penalty goal. Foxton possesses a very good set of forwards, all apparently hard workers. The skipper of the team, Neville, might perhaps be selected as the best ot a really good lot. The half back, Baker, on Saturday gave a very good display and promises to develop into a first-class half ; Hennessy at full was very safe and Williams five-eighth played a good game, but was rather inclined to hang on to the ball; W. Coley, Robinson and Howe did all that was asked of them, but the lastnamed is a little bit on the slow side. The only noticeable weak spot was R. Coley, the wing threequarter, who gave a very indifferent exhibition. Mr Cleland had charge of the game and gave every satisfaction.
