BRICKYARD RAMBLERS v. NGARUAWAHIa. On Saturday afternoon last, the junior match, Brickyard Ram- - biers v. Ngaruawahia Juniors, was pfciyed at Huntly in splendid weather and before a fair number of spectators. Winning the toss Ngaruawahia played with the sun. After some loose play by the visitors the ball was brought close to the Huntly twenty-five where Kay secured and made for the line, blit was stopped py Tumeke who forc'd. After the kick off a sure try by Lynch seemed inevitable. Tumeke, however, coll :red in time, the ball afterwards alternating between the twenty-fives until off side play by Henderson gave Huntly a free kick which brought the oval hack t<> the centre. From a penalty Hen Arson made a poor attempt at. goal, j after which tho game remained in the nei Hibiurlio•> 1 of the j Huntly twenty-five. Tho visitors j assuming the aggressive looked j dang r ns until Tumeke saved by ! means of a handy punt. Some I exciting play onsu. ri I, and Ambj 1 m\ who cleverly s ‘cured the ball , I fmm tho ruck, -ct off for the line, | and getting well away pa-sad to j ; Tumeke who, as the result of a j | tine dodgy run, scored in the | corner, the attempt to add the j : major p tints being futile, j The kick off wa- fallowed by a j j forward rush from which G. ; j Greenwidl scored, Burke, h > .v- j i ever, failing to convert. An un- ] successful shot at goal wa- fol- i i lowed by some tight play from j which Lynch .-‘cured the • val j and registered an easy try, IlenI derson’s shot at goal going wide of the mark. Mellars s cured j the ball from the kick off, but j ! was collared by Tumeke before j ! lie reached the danger zone, a ; period of strenuous play taking place in the home twenty-five, i ‘The Ramblers’ goal was endangered, but L. Ralph’s effort; obviated any chance to score, j The play again became some-! what loose, and Tumeke failed to ; score from a penalty kick. A ! fierce forward rush was slopped by Tonga just as half time j sounded. On resuming Burke marked,! several scrum- following in rapid j succession, from the last of which I the Ramblers took the bail int«* , the visitors’ twenty-five. A mark by Kay was succeeded by a forward rush by th * horn - m n with j Rust-on in the van. McKeown : save ! the situation, and Kay i taking possession carried tho j leather to the home twenty-five where Huntly was penalised. I The shot at goal having failed, j tho game wa- carried into tile visitors’ territory. After a fore * j Callaghan secured a clever tt y. j Tonga’s kick failed to secure j the major p ants.
