DID NOT PLAY P.B
Did not the Wairoa Rugby Subunion reps, beat Poverty Bay on June 2 at Gisborne? This query has been put to the Herald from several quarters. The official answer is: No.. Wairoa played Gisborne, not Poverty Bay. Wairoa’s opponents were drawn from Gisborne clubs only, the P.B. sub-unions being excluded.
In accordance with the gener-ally-accepted principle sub-union teams, even though strong enough, are not matched against union rep. sides.
