The club's hopes of repeating last season's successful Chatham Cup run were dispelled when the first team was beaten by the odd goal in five by Marist under atrocious conditions at Miramar Park.

The Club's hopes of repeating last season's successful Chatham Cup run were dispelled when the first team was beaten by the odd goal in five by Marist under atrocious conditions at Miramar Park.

The game was fairly even with perhaps Marist having a slight edge.

Both teams struggled to master the near-impossible conditions. For University John Gallagher played well and deserved to score more than one goal.

Jim Courtley scored the other Varsity goal.

The third team won its Fourth Division KO Cup game with Slop Out 6-1.

It was a fairly easy win for the University side, which was leading 5-0 at half time.

Soon after the restart Danny Chuke left the field with an injured arm, and Varsity played the rest of the game with only ten men.

The University goalscorers were Danny Chuke (2), Allen Atkins, John Rees, Jeff Walls and a Stop Out Defender.

In the Seventh Division the "D" team registered its first win of the season when it beat Wellington Diamond United 3-2.

The other three teams lost. The "A" team was beaten 6-2 by Wellington Working Mens Club, the "B" team 5-3 by Seatoun and the "C" team 7-5 by Wainuiomata "A".

The Club's annual diner will be held in the Midland Hotel on Saturday. 14th June, commencing at 7 p.m.

Further details may be obtained from Rod Bustard. Tel: 759-863 (home), or 48-651 (work).
