A good movement by Hamua enabled Morehu to pick up'the ball and cut in and throw a good pass to Mitchell, who passed to Luke, who kicked across to Davies. A pass to Monoghan gave him a clear run for the goal-line. Davies failed to convert. Mangatinoka were awarded a free kick five yards inside the twenty-five. Lett took the kick and placed the ball over the bar. Tredway picked up the ball and, with a good turn of speed, went for the line to score. Tredway took the kick, but failed to convert. A free kick was awarded Mangatinoka and K. Lett was successful. Hamua pressed hard and O. Davies picked up to force his way over the line. J. Davies converted. Play was carried back and Cooper successfully took a free kick awarded to Hamua.
