REEFTON SPORTING.

RUGBY. Inangahua play Grey on. Sunday, luangahua somehow manage to sneak a win, except when they play for the Dittman SShield. ' It is a surprise to sec Gallagher in the emergency list. He should i.n doubtodly bo among the first fom forwards picked. At last Tim O’Donnell and Sid Smith have got into a rep team. Sid Smith has been playing good football this year.

The Cronadun goalie, Jo Twomey, made some brilliant saves against Point last Saturday. Barbara O’Malley is striking her old form again. The Cronadun left wing will surely be the representative player in that position this year. Cronadun go to Waiuta to-morrow. Reefton play Point at Reefton. Clarrie Breoks is a tower of strength to the Reefton sido. Her two sisters were helping Reefton against Cronadun. Cronadun are in the lead for the
