In the second half, the local backs got going and Bert Coley crossed twice, Kura converting one. The other try came from a line-out in Levin’s twenty-five, Kura securing and falling across the line. The .Foxlon backs were working like clockwork, their passing being a treat to watch.

Mr. McDonald (Levin), in thanking Foxton for their hospitality congratulated the team on their win and the fine spirit in which the game was played.
