III. A.

V.C. v. Kia Ora. Won, 14—0. Combination of both backs and forwards was good. G. W. Reid secured two tries, Jordan one. One was a forward try, and East converted one try.

V.C. v. Star Boating. Lost, 9—0. The capping supper and dance accounted for a good deal.

V.C. v. Oriental. Lost, 3—0. The hardest game of the season.

V.C. v. Petone. Won, 8—0. A very fast game and score should have been bigger. Jordan made a brilliant run from one end of the field to the other. The score was compiled by G. W. Reid (one try) which Forne converted, and a goal from a penalty kicked by Forne.

V.C. v. Karori. Won, 12—0. G. W. Reid secured two tries; one was a forward try, and J. B. Reid kicked a goal from a penalty.

V.C. v. Wellington. Lost, 5—6. Wellington turned out with a strong team, and we were only able to score once, the try falling to J. B. Reid, who also converted.

V.C. v. Epuni. Draw, 0—0. This should have been an easy victory, but forwards were tired and the back play bad.

V.C. v. Southern. Won, 14—0. In this game we outclassed our opponents, the forwards playing with great dash and the backs showing much better combination than on the previous Saturday. G. W. Reid scored three tries, J. B. Reid one try and one was converted.

V.C. v. Old Boys. Won, 11—3. Very fast game. The honours this time fell to the hockey members of the team, Beere scoring two and Watson one.
