The team which the Foxton Surf Club gent up on Wednesday afternoon to play Bulls uniors was a strong one, containing several senior players and being heavier all lound. Moses, a Maori representative, was a thorn in the side of the home backs (a light lot), while Mete and Hunua also proved themselves too superior for junior grado as we know it in Rangitikei. Nevertheless, our forwards had g the better of things in the first spoil, and at half-time the home team led by six to nil. K. Field and K. Ball scoring tries, neither of which was converted The visitors showed fine combination in the second half, and were almost constantly on the attack. Alltop opened the scoring for Foxton by intercepting and running 70 yards to scoro near the posts, but the major points were not added. Bulls forwards attacked, and Keat fell on the ball, making tho score: Bulls 9, Foxton 3. The visitors’ backs came through with a fine passing rush, and from a ponaltv Hunua found tho posts. The fast few minutes of the game were hotly contested,' and on the call of time indecision on tho part of the home backs saw Melton secure and cross between the posts. Hunua added the necessary points to make the score: Foxton 11, Bulls 9, and the final whistle sounded immediately. Mr D. Westwood was the referee. The Bulls senior fifteen to meet Hunterville at Bulls on Saturday will bo weakened by the absence of U. Ellery (who is on holiday), and Preston (who is playing in the Possibles v. Probables match at Wanganui). The Hunterville team will also be without tho services of two of their best players, so things will bo equal in this respect. GENERAL.
