From the very first of the game it was evident that Helensville was altogether out-classed. Sudurbs kicked off, a line-out following, Suburbs got a free, which was kicked by A. McLeod, but without any result. Even play for some time, till Helensville got a free and rushed the ball into Suburbs' territory. Again even play, till Suburbs rushed, and McArthur got the ball, securing a try, which was not converted. From this till the change there was no play of any importance to note.
