WOMEN SHOW POOR COMBINATION

Royal Engineers Should- Go Long Way In The Association Tournament

IN THEIR Caer Clark Cup fixtures played at King's Park last Saturday, the "Y" Ladies, champions of the League, defeated the Central British Association by 4-0.

Unfortunately, the bumpy state of the ground made ball control very difficult, and this probably accounted for the poor display of the winners.

Miss B. Harker scored two, Miss H. Bockler one and Miss D. McCaw one, and although they made several big efforts, the forwards finished badly, and shooting general- ly was wide of the target.
