19 —3 in favour of Old Boys.— Mr W. Peters refereed. CELTIC LEAD HAVELOCK On the Havelock North Domain the Celtic juniors defeated the Havelock North team by six points to three after a very keen and hard game. The first spell was fairly even, play being for the most part in mid-field, with each side taking turns at attack. The only points registered were the result of a try by Bullen (Celtic) who followed a kick through after a dropped pass among his backs and scored a good try. The kick went wide. In the second half Havelock held the upper hand and kept play in the Celtic territory almost continuously. However, the home side could not finish off their movements and the only joints gained were by means of a penalty by Coates. Within five minutes of the end Celtic took play to the Havelock line, Stevenson rabbiting his way across from a loose scrum. Mr J. Scott was referee. NAPIER SECTION TECHNICAL BEAT H. 5.0.8.
