ONEWHERO FOOTBALL CLUB
grand ball. SUCCESSFUL AND BRILLIANT FUNCTION. The Onewhero Football Club brought the 1920 football season to a close with a grand ball, held on Friday, September 10. The function was an unqualified success, close on 100 couples indulging in dancing to exoellent music provided by Walker's orchestra till the early hours of the morning. The success of the ball wa6 due to the untiring efforts of the ladies' committee, to whom sufficient praise cannot be given for the really excellent supper provided, and for the decorations. The marquee and supper tables, decorated in purple and gold by the use of violets, primroses, and daffodils, relieved with greenery, looked like a fairy bower. During the evening various trophies were presented to club members, the recipients being A. Logan, L, Cathcart, A. Geraghty, Potini, J. Hira and J. Dromgool (club captain). The caps were presented by Mr. A. B. Floyd for consistent play during the season. W. Parson received a case of silverware presented by the Farmers' Union Trading Company. W. Parsons was also presented with a handsome gold medal b\« his fellow-members of the junior team for goal kicking and excellent play throughout the season. Mr. Dromgool, in replying, thanked the trophy donors, and said that the club owed much of its success to the efforts of the secretary, Mr. Floyd, who had carried out his duties very thoroughly.
