Foxton v. Raukawa.
The Raukawa (Otaki) Club journeyed to Levin on Saturday last, in. accordance with the above fixture. They waited until three o'clook (half an hour later than the time appointed for starting play), but their opponents did not appear. The referee (Mr Mdntyre) ordered the Ra ukawaa to. kick off, and gave them
the game by default. - However, the I Foxton team drove up only a. few minutes afterwards . and were naturally very much disappointed. Mr Mclntyro asked tbe Raukawas to, give Foxton a game after their long journey over a very bad road, but the majority of the local Club, who had gone to Wereroa to witness the other import j;)t match, declined to give way. The Raukawa team were quite within their rights, but it was rather " hard lines ". for the Foxfon team. — Otaki Mail.
