FIRST-YEAR PLAYERS The final game in the first year players’ fours was contested between Birrell, Sansey, Macauly and Prangley (Mangere) and Dickie, Leathern, Young, Lincoln (Ponsonby). It was a fairly even game and the standard of the play was decidedly good. Up to the 15th head the score board read: Mangere, 12; Ponsonby, 10. On the fifteenth head, however, Prangley, with a splendid drawing shot, increased Man-gere-’s lead to 17—10. On the next head Prangley again increased Mangere’s lead with a splendid shot, which carried the jack for three, 20—10. A single came to Ponsonby on the seventeenth, but a great drawing shot by Macauly gave Mangere the shot on the eighteenth, the board then reading 21—11. The next head gave Ponsonby a couple, the city now requiring two fours to tie. The twentieth head saw Macauly place another single to Mangere, which put the game beyond doubt. Mangere 22, Ponsonby 13. On the last head, Mangere scored another two, making the final scores: Mangere, 24; Ponsonby, 13. IN OTHER CENTRES OTAHUHU TOURNEY (Special to THE SUN) OTAHUHU, To r day.
