Nearly 1200 young Rugby players took part yesterday afternoon in the Canterbury primary schools' annual seven-a-side tournament, which was held at North Hagley Perk. The turf was in excellent condition, and the day was fine, but a cold north-east breeze made conditions unpleasant for spectators. The matches were divided, as usua\ into six grades, as follows: —Under 10, 11, 12, and 18. and 14 years, and open. Each match was played in five-minute spells,, and if at the end of the set time neither side was ahead play was continued nntil a force-down was made, the. team causing its opponents to do so being awarded a point. Thirteen were required for the matches, which produced some fast and exciting play. The remaining matches will be played this morning, commencing at 9.80. Credit for tho arrangements is due to Mr E. H. Cross and a number of assistants. The results were as follows: — OPEN GRADE. First Round. Linwood Avenue 8 1 , Addington 0. Harewood 6, Linwood 80. j Somerfleld 3, Bromley 0.
