"It is hoped the people of Waterford will patronize these League games
as
the club has gone to considerable expense in fitting up the Agricultural
grounds for the games, purchasing their suits, &c. The people can rely
on seeing very sharp playing done by the contesting League clubs, as they
have engaged the best players
in the county."

Notes
|
At a meeting of
the League Committee, held immediately after the game on the 24th,
the following resolutions were passed:
1. That after today any player playing on more than one League Club
be expelled from the League; and that second club with which he
plays be expelled, and that their share of gate money from games in
which he plays be forfeited and go to trophy fund.
2. That the rule concerning the outside player date from this
meeting.
The Vittoria boys played in
Waterford on Monday, score Vittoria 19, Waterford 14. Vittoria
seems to take delight in downing League teams.
The next League game here is
between St. Williams and Simcoe, on Thursday, 5th June. Walsingham
plays in Waterford, Saturday, 31st May.
Simcoe, taking advantage of
the change in the rule concerning outside players, has secured A. N.
Donnocker of Otterville for the season.
The League Clubs stand as
follows:
|
|
Won |
Lost |
| Wranglers |
2 |

| Walsingham |
