Manawatu pace carries the day
PA Wanganui Manawatu’s forward might and pace proved too m-ich for a brave Wanganui side in the annual Bruce Steele Cup rugby match at Spriggens Park, Wanganui, yesterday. After applying splendid first-half pressure, Wanganui — endeavouring to end a string of annual losses — buckled and. was eventually beaten 22-12. Wanganui’s half-time
lead of 12-6 quickly evaporated as the Manawatu machine got into a smoother gear, and AH Black Mark Donaldson’s men quite comfortably retained the cup. Scores.— Manaw a t u : Mick O’Callaghan, Rangi Attenborough tries; Doug Rollerson four penalty goals, iversion. Wanganui: Morrie Griffin four penalty goals.
