ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL:

Tho- first inter-battcry soccer materf.. which was played at Sleepy Wllow on Wednesday between 150 and 204 resulted in a win for 204 by 3 goals to 1. Play was. very oven throughout - 204 taking advantage of the wind and scoring 3 goals in the first half. v During the second half 150 looked like scoring several times.' but failed to make the most of their opportunites. Experienced players .such as McLean, Fox, Turner, and Murphy (2o4) ( t-Taylor, Doherty end Major Kennedy, stobd out from those less experienced ones and a draw would have been a better indication of the standard of the two teams.

The Na in Oval was the scene of still another soccer game on Wednesday afternoon, when two evenly matched teams, BHQ and the Rost contested a hard game, the former winning by 2 goals to 1. The Rost ' were unfortunate in not putting up a higher score in the fir-sit 'half when the wind was behind them, and in the second half it was only thegood work of the "English International” (sorry - goalie) which ••'prevented BHQ from putting up a higher score. The O,C. f an enthusiastic supporter of the gome, again turned out and played his usual sound, game. The stdndard of play was 1 not as high ns in : some of the .previous games, the main weakness lack of position al play. However, 151 still consider themselves a shade too good for any other local team - how about it ???
