HAWERA II (32) v. OKAIAWA II (0)

The local team had a runaway victory over Okaiawa on Saturday.: Playing a five open game and keeping the .ball either at the toes of the forwards in loose rushes or among the backs. in good passing bouts, they gave the visiters little chance. It was'only on occasions that Okaiawa were near their PPBoaep*-' goal. , Following up the! kick-off the forwards smothered the return. The ball came* out from Whittongton to Clout, to Sheahan, to Barry, and the last named raced over, the first score occurring within a minute or two of the commencement. "" No goal resulted. Okaiawa charged down and I'lnnerty went down in fine style to stop tlie rush. Clout got his ""backs away again, but a bad pass by Winks spoiled another chance. Then for a long time Hawera set up scores of attacks on their opponents' goal line, forwards and-backs playing well, and Okaiawa being hard pressed to stave off the vigorous attacks. Then from I a free kick Winks placed a fine goal, i making; Hawera's score 6—o. Hawera continued to press until a good rush by Okaiawa took the ball into Hawera territory. Clout was .prominent in defensive kicking and Hawera cleared. Then the ball came out and away up the field went the backs. They were i stopped, but C. Winks secured'again, made.a brilliant dash, and got'over under the posts. Clout converted. Hawera 11, Okaiawa 0. Soon after the ball was m motion again Heke (Okaiawa) secured and made one of the .most brilliant runs of the day. He galloped from his own twenty-five right through his opponents and had only the full-** back to pass. Burke, however, was equal to the occasion and brought down the big Maori in fine style. It was a fine run and a great tackle. R .Winks shortly after just missed getting a goal from a drop kick, and then • halftime was called. On resuming Okaiawa made a better showing and play was for some time more even Then Hawera backs got to work and made a series of fine passing' r-ishos, all playing well, but over- ' p-'a-'-M'n-S--* ftv, f .:j*. „,...„..,• ffnod-n+ton-TJ*-,: I.
