disturbed. Brunets has nothing to be
ashamed of in the record attained by
their Intermediate and Junior teams.
In oonolnding the season'a play it
would not be amiss to acknowledge the
ready and valuable ateistance rendered
both clubs by Wroxeter players. They
did their pert most effioiently 10 the
varioue matches and tended in no email
degree to the gaining of championship
honore. The very friendly relatione ex•
iating between the two villages ie worthy
of note and is the etate of affairs that
should prevail among neighbors.

Both teams failed often to cover their
oheche at the critical moments, though
the Soots as a rule followed up the ball
closer and more effectively. Contrary
to their imam the boys from the North
indulged in a lot of high kicking which
was not at all effective owing to the
strong wind -which was against the
Soots in the first half. The oontest gee.
