In the main game at Carlaw Park, Otahuhu outplayed a strong Mount Albert team, and won by 17 points to 4. Marist showed some good team play in its match against City, and won by 17 points to 10. Richmond beat Point Chevalier by 22 points to 6. Manukau accounted for North Shore by 35 points to 9, and Ponsonby defeated Newton by 11 points to 3.
