At their last meeting these teams shared the points in à goalless draw, and as both teams have been showing good form recently an- other thrilling encounter should be witnessed. The Rifles will have the assistance of Campbell, their pivot for the last time, as he leaves for the United Kingdom on Friday, so that they will still have the ad- vantage of their complete team, and in view of the importance of the game to them, will make every en- deavour to win.
Ferguson; on the left-wing, and Moore. in the centre-forward berth, are at present their most danger ous forwards, and Erwin, on form; is not to be underrated.
