OLD BOYS BEAT KIA TOA

The junior curtain-raiser on the oval was played between Old Boys, leaders in the competition, and Kia Ton. The blues fielded only 13 men and put up a fine fight in the firstspell, keeping the score down to an B—o8 —0 margin in favour of Old Boys. Their defence slackened in the second spell and the blacks added 16 more points, running out winners by 24 points to nil. Old Boys opened their scoring account with a fine back movement, in itinted by Egdcll, at half, ball passing through the backs to Carson, who cut in beautifully and transferred to Gardiner, who ran round and scored between the posts. Henson’s kick never left the ground. A few moments later Stuckey attempted to kick a penalty goal from in front of the uprights, but the hall went wide. From a scrum near the goal-line the ball went out to Cutler, who forced his way across. Stuckey converted with a fine kick. Half-time sounded with no further sc-orc. On resuming, Old Boys went through and Shand transferred to Morgan, who touched down, Stuckey added the extra points. Old Boys were quickly into their stride again and a good run by Carson ended in Waters, who followed up well, taking a difficult, pass and scoring. McPherson was next to score from ail opening by Carson, Stuckey again finding the uprights.
