After paying all expenses , and also a debt of £1 12s 6d which was owing to the Reremai Club at the commencement of the season, we now hold a credit balance of 17s. As the club had enough members, it was decided to enter two teams for the Major Cup Competition, viz., the "A" and "B" teams, and both are to be congratulated on their successes. The "A" team was successful in winning the Cup, after putting up the splendid performance of winning all matches played with the exception of one, and also in winning the Seven Aside Tournament played in connection with the Association. The "B" team has the distinction of being the only team to defeat the "A" team during the Cup Competition, and also of getting second to that team in the Seven Aside Tournament. Our President, Mr W. H. Jackson, has kindly promised to donate a trophy for competition during the coming season, the committee to decide how it 'is to be merited.- R. Anderson, Hon.
