Convincing Rugby Win. Continuing their winning way, Rahui juniors secured 'their third win on end when they accounted for Punahau on Saturday. The margin in Rahui's favour, 20—8, came as no li'ttle surprise in view of Punahau's record earlier, but there was no semblance of a fluke about the victory. Rahui's backline gave a polished display, working in unison with the forwards when the opportunity presented itself. Tries for the1 victors were scored by Tom Fox, W. Walker, R. Giddens (2) and D. Rodgers, while R. Bevan kicked a penalty and* converted one try. ■ • j
