NEW ZEALAND TEAM
DRAW WITH HUNSLET,
Press Association—Copyright,
Svdney, January 29. Hunslet, holders of the Yorkshire Cup, is perhaps the strongest team in the country this season and the New Zealanders accomplished a very good performance in drawing with them
In the early stages play was fairly even. Both Wrigley and Messenger kicked splendid penalty goals, while the former after a very fine run crossed the line, Messenger converting. When the second spell opened the home team had not scored, but after the interval played a much stronger game and play was cxciting. Goldthorpe kicked a goal from a mark aud added three goals from penalties. With a superb effort Messenger kicked a penally goal from just beyond the halfway line and brought the scores level.
