The Te : Kawau Rugby Sub-Union’s primary schools' competition for the Penney banner was advanced a further stage on Friday afternoon when the combined Glen Oroua-Tailiorea team met the Rongotea boys at the Glen Oroua school ground. A.strong.wind accompanied by frequent heavy showers made conditions unpleasant for both players and spectators, of which tliere was a fair crowd present. The combined team won the toss and elected to play with the wind which gave considerable assistance. Within five, minutes of the start M. Parlato (half) obtained tho ball from the scrum and went over to draw first blood for combined. Other tries were scored by R. Law lor, C. Webb and J. Scott (2), while P. Sullivan converted on two occasions. At half time the score was 19—0 in favour of Glen Oroua-Taikorea. After the change over Rongotea worked hard and were rewarded with a try in the corner, but combined Kept the ball in for the rest of the game and no other scores resulted to either side. The backs for the combined team all worked well, particularly J. Scott and M. Parlato, while the outstanding forwards were W. Hunt, N. .Tones, G. Hill and J. Huddleston. A marked improvement in play was shown by tho two latter boys. A friendly game of basketball was played on Friday afternoon between the Glen Oroua and Talkovea school girls at Glen Oroua. The previous week Taikorea won by S goals to 7, but on this occasion Glen Oroua were tho victors by B goals to 2.
