In match condition terms, you want all the elements for whom the local part
of the name (the part after the ":" that delimits the namespace prefix)
equals "first":

  match="*[local-name()='first']"

Simply writing match="first", which I imagine is what you did, is only
asking for all the first elements from the default namespace.

I did an article that covered this and some related cases at
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/05/02/trxml.html. See the xq257.xsl example in
particular.
