Top scores
Two of the beaten sides in Saturday's senior rugby matches, Lincoln College and Hornby, each gained a maximum score of 20 points in "The Press" Centennial Cup competition for the best and fairest football. Mr Glyn Braithwaite, the referee for college's game against Merivale-Papanui. saluted Lincoln's sportsmanship and its imaginative play. Mr Mike Fitzgibbon said Hornby had played fairly and to the best of its ability. Two other losing teams, Old Boys and Linwood, also earned good marks, and Linwood was able to retain its handy lead in the competition, which is based on good sportsmanship, absence of foul play, and constructiveness.
However, it was surprising that Marist gained only 12 points out of a possible 20 after scoring
nine tries in a bright display against Belfast. The latter had the lowest mark of the day. 11.
