On Saturday afternoon a team of footballors from Rongotea journeyed to Awahuri and played a friendly match with that team. Although the Rongotea team fielded several juniors and third grade players, tlioy kept knocking hard at their opponents’ line, but found it hard to penetrate tho Awahuri defences. The rearguard functioned well on several occasions, and from a passing bout D, Burne scrambled over in the oorner, with several Awahuri players clinging to him. G. Goldfinch was unable to find the uprights. Spurred by this roverse, Awahuri hustled the Rongotea defence, and from an infripgeroent on the twenty-fiva line, R. Cribb equalised the score with a nice kick. No further scores wore forthcoming and when time was sounded tho scores were: Awahuri 3, Rongotea 3. TENNIS CLUB.
