JUNIORS DRAW. WAIRARAPA v WELLINGTON. The annual match between the Wellington and Wairarapa junior teams was played at Wellington on Saturday and after a very evenly contested game ended in a scoreless draw. This game was for a cup donated by Mi - J. Robertson, M.P., for annual competition between both associations, and as Wairarapa were the holders they retain the trophy. SENIOR GAME. WELLINGTON BEAT WAIRARAPA. In the senior game Wairarapa were completely outclassed in all departments of the game by Wellington and had it not been for the good work of the Wairarapa goalie the score would have been much higher. The Wairarapa teams were hospitably entertained by the Wellington Association both before and after the games. LADIES AT PLAY. WAIRARAPA BEAT MANAWATU.
