SECOND DIVISION
ORIENTAL BEAT PONEKE
Prince of Wales Park was In a very slippery condition when Oriental met Poneke and a fall of rain and snow, which lasted the whole of the first spell, did not improve matters. The ball was very greasy, and although both teams worked hard neither side had scored at half-time,
Not long after the commencement of the second half Davies (Oriental) made a good run, but lost the ball on the Poneke line. Play had improved somewhat, and Wakelin secured and crossed over for Oriental. The kick failed. Poneke pressed hard and a score seemed imminent but, although they held a territorial advantage, they were unable to cross and the whistle sounded with the score, Oriental 3, Poneke 0.
