The first game in the match which usually comes off annually between Wollongong and Kiama, was played yesterday on the reserve near the English Church, Kiama. The Wollongong team being the challengers, of course came to open the proceedings on their opponent's ground. The players were many of them young men, whom our men had not before met in the cricket field. They were, nevertheless, well trained, and up to their work. On the Kiama side, on the contrary, the selection was almost that of a mere scratch match. Several players indeed were the veterans of the district; but the team was made up by the accidental presence of some who not only had not intended to play, but who had not for months previously taken bat or ball in hand. The game, notwithstanding was a very exciting and well-contested one; though success remained with those who were best prepared to contend for it. The batting of Rixon, Morris, Chilby, and others, and the bowling of Cummings and Rixon stood their party in good stead ; and at the close of the first innings, Wollongong was eleven notches ahead. The Kiama team began their second innings with the number one hundred and nine staring them in the face, to be obtained in order to win. This was much more nearly accomplished than anybody had expected when they commenced the task. Great praise is due to Mr. Thomas King, the youngest member of the team, who by cautious and skilful play scored in this innings no less than 35; and when the last wicket fell, the Wollongong men were only 22 ahead. The whole affair went off without the slightest contention or misunderstanding ; and the weather during the day was the most favourable that could be. The ground was also in better condition than we have ever seen it before for the purpose, as it has been closely fed off by sheep, and during the morning rolled with a heavy roller, kindly supplied for the purpose by T. Chapman, Esq. ; while Mr. Hughes, of the Harbour Works, found the horse-power - for which and other assistance the committee most heartily thank him. We hope that the remaining games, which according to custom are required to make up a complete match, will be played out in as friendly a manner during the season; and we congratulate Captain Rixon and his company on the high state of efficiency in which they are at present.
