The weather was perfect, but the attendance was very small. The play during the first halt was ragged, with occasional Hashes of individual work. Neither side had scored at half-time. Rlay brightened considerably in the second spell, but Temuka had all the boiler of Die game and won comfortably, 'fries were scored by Goodson, Flookinson. and llvan. two of which v;ca- converted by Duke. Mr C. tie ,lo'i.\ was referee. The Temuka Pipe Rand played the teams on to tin- held and pinved selections during the interval.

Ratana for annual competition between the North Canterbury and South Canterbury Maori Rugby fifteens.
