It was considered possible that the meeting with Hutt would bo no easy match for Wakatu, but this was not so Wakatu’s forward combination, a ns the state of tho ground permitted, was excellent, and proved t°o ™ch for the suburban team, who, realising that the match would give the last , opportunity of affecting the championship ladder, made every effort, but yitho-a success.
