Saxons (A TEAM) v. STREATHAM BEES (A).-
Played at Oil Mill-lane, Kingston, on,Saturday, when the Saxons proved far too good for their opponents and won by 11 goals to nil. About two minutes from the start, Woods scored with a beauty from the right wing, Dalgety added three in quick succession and Woods, Jones, and Marsh each had a look in. On crossing over the Bees showed up better and Briscoe put in two very good runs, but being badly supported could not score. In the last quarter of an hour the Saxons were again busy Marsh scoring three more goals and Woods one. The Bees were sadly lacking in combination but Briscoe and J. Barnes worked hard. It should be stated that their regular backs failed to put in an appearance. Woods and Dalgety, who appeared for the first time for the Saxons, played a very good game on the right, and Marsh was very busy in the centre. Sides:- Saxons: W. H. Chapman, goal; R, J. Sivers, J. Bicknell, backs; E.Sayers, C. Collins, N. J. Ray, halves; G. Woods. H. Dalgety, P. Marsh, G. W. Jones, and W. Goldring, forwards. Bees: W. Baker, goal; A. Barney, G. Bayliss backs; P. Salisbury, F. Barnes, A. Wolff, halves; W. Jeffery, A. Walker, E. Jeffery, J. W. Barnes and H. J. Briscoe, forwards. Umpire, W. G. Carn.

Played at Oil Mill-lane, Kingston, on Saturday. Owing to the late arrival of the Bees only sixty minutes' play could be taken, but in this time the Saxons inflicted a heavy defeat on their opponents, winning by eleven goals to nil. The Bees, It should be said, were without their regular backs; but their forwards were sadly lacking in combination, Briscoe and Barnes being the only ones to make any show, The Saxons, on the contrary, making due allowance for the weakness of the opposition, showed up well. The goals were scored through the agency of Marsh (four), Dalgety (three), Woods (three), and Jones (one). Sides.- Saxons: W. H. Chapman (goal); B. J. Sivers, J. Bicknell (backs), E. Sayers, C.
