Saturday afternoon. when both Winners v. Rest matches in the Caer Clack Cup and the Brawn Cup Leagues were decided after which Mrs. "T. E. Pearce, President of the Association, presented the "trophies
won during the season.
The undefeated Central British School "A" team were defeated by the Rest by two goals to nil in the first match of the afternoon. The losers displayed an Inferiority complex and indulged in too much individual play. Their half-back line was disappointing while their backs, Miss Fraser and Misa Good- win, were overawed by the oc-
casion.
The winners' goals were both scored by Miss E Hamon, centre- forward.

Individually. the Rest team were better than their opponents. Mrs. Rose was confident in goal, and the backs Miss Gray and Miss J Smälley were very sound.
The Rest attack worked with fine precision and Miss F. Wong, on the right-wing, and Miss Hunt, on the opposite flank, both nearly scored goals."-
