RUGBY FOOTBALL

WAIUKU UNION 11 points, NEWTON JUNIORS (i. A team of Newton juniors visited Waiuku last Saturday and played a match against a team -elected from the local clubs. The play was not of any brilliance, the visitors being ohieily second juniors, whilst the local team was far from being at full strength. In the-til'? 1 iuarter the home side j had the sun an<H>T' ag ft i Dß t them, . but at once set up a hot ?ttack and I came near scoring, the visitors T>€l n K I lucky to force three times in succes- [" .>ion.' The play then changed rapidly j from end to end, the visitors getting | the lead by Black scoring a try. In | the next spell W. Flavell equalised and at half-time the sc-oies were equal. Early after the resumption the similarity of jerseys worn by a visitor and some defenders led to an obvious oft-side try being awarded, which gave Newton the lead, llalf through the quarter T. Tie made a line individual effort and linished up by scoring under the posts for May to convert. Leading by two points Waiuku played determinedly, but the visitors' attacks were the more dangerous as they showed rather more combination than the home vide. Pressing near tho end of the game Waiuku got a further try in the last minute by 1'- Bright, thus running out winners by 11 points against t>. Mr lien. Bairiball ° . lefereeu. Among the visitors good form was shown bv Cox, A. Herring, Murray, Walters and Haines, and among the forwards Black, Kuthcilniil, Hammond and llewitson. In the home ranks, Honey, 1. I'ie, Leo. Havell, Mav and Gillon were rerhaps most prominent, whilst in tho forwards, J. l'ie, I'rouigool, S. Barriball, Bright and Frewiu showed to ad- : vantage. . The visitors were entertained at a smoke concert in the evening and had an enjoyable time, ihey left for Auckland on Sunday afternoon.
