Soccer Report

University gave an inept display in going down 1-3 to Raumati Hearts on 26 April.

After a fairly even first half, and the half-time score 1-1, it seemed possible that University could register its first championship points of the season.

However, the Raumati side dispelled any such hopes when it scored goals in the 10th and 30th minutes of the second half.

Steve Palmer scored the goal for University.

The performance of the University side was most disapponting, especially in the second half, and Raumati Hearts fully deserved its victory as its play was superior in all departments.

The second team lost its unbeaten record when it lost 3-1 to Western Suburbs.

In a fairly even game, the Varsity side gave the best performance seen from it so far this season.

The result was in doubt until a few minutes from the end, when with the score 2-1 in Western Suburbs favour and Varsity attacking strongly, Western Suburbs broke away and scored the goal that put the result beyond doubt.

Huroon Lateef scored for University.

The third team moved to the top of the Fourth Division by virtue of its 4-3 victory over Seatoun in the early game at Kelburn Park.

The win was a particularly good one as the University side was depleted by defections because of the long weekend.

The game was a personal triumph for Varsity skipper, Ian Brown, who scored a "hat-trick".

The other University goal was scored by Jeff Walls.

Down in the grades the only team to win was the Senior Seventh Division "A" team, which beat Stop Out 1-0.

The only goal of the game was scored by Charles Kaggwa.

The Senior Seventh Division B team had a bye and all the other teams lost.
