For the Wellingtons, Williams did good service at full-back, and Tripe and Eoacho were the best of the three-quarters. Mere dith was in good form at half-back, and Donnelly deserves considerable praise for the line game he played at five-eighths. Longton, Pownall, Hallamore and Eowo were the pick of the forwards. Mr Ward was referee, and Messrs Brodriok and Boss line umpires.
JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP. The Athletic second beat Poneke second by 6 points to 3. Tucker kicked a penalty goal for the winners and Hope scored a try, while Connell scored a try for Poneke. THIRD-CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP. The Oriental-Selwyn heat was won by the former by 13 points to nil. The Third-class Cup match St. John’s v. Selwyns ended in a draw. At Newtown Park on Saturday morning, Mount Cook School first fifteen defeated Te Aro by 23 points to love. A fast and interesting game was played on Saturday morning at Newtown Park between Clyde quay and Terrace School teams. Clyde quay, after a great struggle, won by 9 points to 6. It is probable that only one match will be played on the Athletic Park ground for the remainder of the season. It was intended to play two matches during the second round of the championship, but the idea will no doubt be abandoned, as it is found that there is not sufficient space, The Poneke-Melrose match, in which an immense amount of interest is being taken, to be played next. Saturday, will conclude the first round for the Senior Shield. If the Melrose team win they will have scored one more win than any other team in the contest, while if Poneke win there will be three teams level, namely, Poneke, Melrose and Athletic.
