Matravers took the kick and, although from a difficult angle, registered a beautiful goal amidst great cheering. Both* sides strained every nerve to increase the score, and the Wellington men getting the ball into local territory, Baumber potted a goal. Shortly afterwards Ward secured the ball from a scrum and crossed the line, the game ending — Wellington 8 points, Manawatu 5. The Manawatu forwards were superior to the visitors, who were much heavier. Mr Fache, of Wellington, acted as referee, but did not give satisfaction.
