Nehe Nehe (36) v. Tanehopuwai (0).

J This match was played on the Te Kuiti ground on Saturday and was only an exercise canter for the Nehe Nehe team. The public who attended were, however, treated to a really good afternoon's fun by the burjesqueness of the game for no other term would be applicable. As the Tanehopuwai team took the ground they presented a very bizzare appearance, and reminded one of what Attaches on the warpath would some with sleeveless jerseyf and some minus that garment entirely- Nevertheless, there are one or t\f o promising players in the TanehopuVai team > but that 1S about all. v*

Mr Berry controlled the game in an impartial manner not being too severe on the visiting team.
