An unsuccessful kiok at the goal was also made by the visitors from a mark obtained in the Star's fifteen. The Stars played pluckily, and about the middle of the spell Benall made a
smart run and passed to W. Thomp* son, who got over. Emmett took the kick and placed a goal, At the conclusion of the first spell the game stood, Stars three points, Petono one.
