Mixed Eleven Defeat University.

ONLY ONE HALF PLAYED.

On the Diocesan Girls' School ground yesterday afternoon, the St. Andrew's Club mixed XI defeated the University 2nd XI by two clear

goals. Owing to the short space of time limited to the game due to fast failing light, only one half could be played.
