THE JUNIOR BANNER. CELTIC (7) v. WAIMARAMA (6). The play was pretty level, as indicated by the figures, but as a spectacle the game was slow and not particularly interesting. The Celtics had two St. Patrick’s College boys in their pack, and it is said that Waimarama has entered a protest against the Greens’ narrow win. on that account. Both sides played hard from the start and Collins, in a forward rush, drew first blood for Waimarama by crossing over The Greens then took a hand, and Geor succeeded in securing a try, thus making honours easy at haff time. After the adjournment the game continued level until McParland kicked a pretty goal from the field. Waimarama retaliated and Barney, picking up, crossed over but the try was unconverted, and play concluded with the figures, Celtic 7. Waimarama 6. Mr. E. Spooner was in charge. THIRDS. Hastings A. v. H. 5.0.8. Hastings opened up strong and within two minutes of the kick-off Whit' had placed a penalty kick to their credit. Although the Old Boyp put up a game opposition, and on. more than one occasion were unlucky in not scoring, they were outclassed, by the Yellows. After solid nlay, Chetwin scored a try for the Old Boys and von Rotter added the major points, thus sending the Boys ahead. Hastings responded with three tries, secured by Haymes, Shaw and Stevens, Haynies converting one and at half time the score stood, Hastings 14, Old Bovs 5. On resuming, after willing work on both sides, Berry got a try for the Old Boys, von Rotter failing at goal, and Robertson, for Hastings, replied in kind, but he was unsuccessful with his own kick. The game ended Hastings A 17. H. 5.0.8. 8. Mr E. Anderson neld the whistle. UNIVERSITY MATCH. Christchurch. Sept. 10. Sydney University beat Canterbury College at Rugby by 13 points to V.
