Duncan F. Sullivan, J. O’Callaghan, G. Donohue. J. Martin. The Rangiora team was superior in every department. Outstanding for Rangiora was the second five-eighths. S. Montgomery, who showed decided skill in cutting-in. He scored one try and started several movements that led to tries. J. Meyer, on the wing shone on the attack, and was also good on defence. He scored two tries, one of which was converted by P. Coleman Coleman also opened Rangiora’s scoring by kicking a penalty in the early stages. B. Scott, an outstanding forward, was always on the ball and took part in several sound dribbling rushes, one of which he headed to score a neat try. The score at halftime was—Rangiora 14, St. Bede’s 0 St. Bede’s played better in the second half, the backs throwing the ball about more, and both backs and forwards combined in some spectacular passing rushes. The spoiling tactics of their opponents, however, nullified the movements and play was again confined to St. Bede’s territory. The first try in the second half was scored by Bennett, who. at first five-eighths secured the ball from the half-back, and cut-in brilliantly to score one of the best tries of the game. Shortly afterwards, J. Meyer raced down the line and scored in the corner, the game ending—Rangiora 20, St. Bede’s 0. The referee was Mr F. Burgess. APPOINTMENT OF REFEREE Mr F.
