Friendly Games At Hokitika
Evidently very fit already, and showing excellent combination, the Rover team, from Ngakawau, whose rise from junior status was last season a feature of the Buller competition, proved quite too good at Cass Square on Saturday for the Kiwi seniors, scoring nearly 30 points Their bustling backs scarcely ever missed a transfer, and executed scissors and cutting-in moves with precision. Not a heavy team, they are all in good fettle, and should prove successful again this season. The Kiwi forwards were heavy, and occasionally broke away, but their play was too spasmodic. Celtic sent a team to play Excelsiors at Cass Square, and as the.home team was short of men, the visitors had no trouble in holding the upper hand to a tune similar to that of the Rovers. The Hokitika clubs on Saturday were only starting practice.
