Soccer

The only game played for three weeks was against Miramar Rangers who we defeated 2-1. Although very little passing was done on both sides, the game was nevertheless an interesting one and played in a fine spirit. Ted Meuli was once again outstanding in scoring an excellent goal from each wing. Jack Walls was his usual hard-working self, but his tendency to get involved in arguments with the referee appears to be of doubtful value. Lin Bateman, the goalkeeper, was sound—and a feature of his game was his excellent goalkicking and punting which seldom failed, to find the half-way mark. Another young player, Ron Gray, making his debut in the Senior team, gave a good account of himself and was decidedly unlucky not to score a few times. He also sent across one or two copybook corners.

Since last issue the Juniors have not played. If they beat Miramar Rangers next week they have a fair chance of winning their grade. We hope the absence of Ron Gray will not be felt too much.

With August drawing closer everyone is thinking about Tournament but it is unlikely that for reasons of eligibility and availability we will field a strong team this year.
