Point had the better of the opening exchanges, and missed an opportunity of putting on two penalty points. But Otahuhu rallied and made several assaults on the Point line, which all but resulted in tries. The game continued to be fast and open with the tackling, especially by Otahuhu, very deadly. Hemmingson saved on several occasions for Point Chevalier. The game was very hard and vigorous, one Otahuhu player having to be carried oil’. There was no score to either side at half-time. Playing with the wind after the interval, Otahuhu showed up to advantage. But much kicking by both sides was spoiling the game.
