THE CURTAIN-RAISER.
MANAWATU TOO GOOD. Except for a period at the beginning of the second half, the Manawatu third grade representative team proved superior to the junior representatives from the Oroua Sub-Union. The Manawatu players presented more polish, the backs bolding a greater superiority over the visitors than did the forwards. Roach kicked a penalty for Manawatu and S. Thompson secured three points for the visitors by similar means. Guthrie, the centre-three-quarter for the Manawatu side, scored three tries, Roach converting one. The teams were as follow : Manawatu.—Ewen, Collins, Guthrie, Alsop, Goodall, Barker, Roach, Mitchell, Dustin, Wills, Webb, Clements, Thompson, Wealleans, Bacon. Oroua.—Harland, Lane, Vilcs, Kearney, Murdoch, S. Thompson, Brooker, Roueher, Hyde. Stent,' Cowan, Cockburn, Forbes, O’Reilly. L. Thompson.
