The return Manawatu-Horo-whenua match played at Palmerston North on Saturday resulted in a particularly easy victory tor the home team, the final score being Mauawatu 20, Horowhenua 3. Owing to the ground being very soft and greasy, the game was made a forward one. From the kick off Manawatu briskly attacked. Waldegrave was the first to score from a passing rush. Shortly after the same player again scored. The next to score was Muuro, Hughes converting. Just on half time N. Winiata kicked a penalty goal for the visitors, making the score 11 103. The second spell was simply a walk over for Manawatu, Walsh scoring three tries, Baigeut and Ford one each, J. Hughes converting one. From a spectator s point of view, the game was anything but interesting, the local men having everything their own way.
The following team has been selected to represent HorowbenuaMauawatu against Taranaki on August Bth. Full-back : Hughes. Three-quarters : Toa, Winiata, N. Winiata, Rawiri. Five-eights : Waldegrave, Ford. Half: Pegden.
