Kingston Rangers v. Kingston and Surbiton Y.M.C.A.- An eleven of the Kingston Rangers (Rugby) F.C. played the Y.M.C.A, under association rules, on the ground of the latter club at Kingston, on Saturday and scored an easy victory by six goals to one. The Rangers had things all their own way from start to finish, only once giving their opponents the chance of getting near their goal. This was chiefly due to the good play of J. Lambert and T.B. Orgias as half-backs, and F and A Docker as backs. W. Strutt-Cavell and the brothers Marsh also deserve mention, whilst Briscoe showed very good play for the Y.M.C.A. Sides: Kingston Rangers: F. Duckett (goal), F. Docker and A. Docker (backs), J. Lamb, T.B. Orgias, B.J. Marsh (half-backs), P. Marsh, W. Strutt-Cavell (left), E.G. Drewry (centre), F.J. Cooke and T. Moore, (right forwards). Y.M.C.A: R. J. Sivers (goal), A. Collins, G. Bignell, A. Collins (backs), J. G. Peck, F.H. Dolling and E.W. Stringer (half-backs), G.W. Jones, G. Kerrison (right), H.J Briscoe (centre) W. G. Carn, G. Kemp (left forwards).

Kingston and Surbiton Y.M.C.A. v. an eleven of Kingston Rangers.- Playad on the ground of the former at Grove-lane, and ended in a victory for the Rangers by six goals to one. The Rangers sent a very strong eleven and the Y.M.C.A. were completely overmatched. A word of praise is due to Briscoe and Jones for the very plucky way inwhich they played, and if the other members of the team had been equal to those two, the result might have been different. Y.M.C.A
team: R. J. Sivers (goal), A. Collins, J. Bignell and Harves (backs), F. H. Dolling and F. G. Peck (half-backs), H. J. Briscoe, G. Kerrison, W. G. Carn, G. W. Jones and Kemp (forwards).
