The Ramblers’ goalie, although beaten eight times, played splendidly, otherwise his side would have suffered a greater defeat. The following scored for Foxton: Jenvey (3), Nixon (2), .J. McKnight (2), and Francis (1). The referee had good control, and gave, every satisfaction to both teams.

Foxton have played five League matches, and have won four and lost one.
