KAMO EASILY. { 17 POINTS DISPARITY.’ In collecting 22 points to Hikurangi’s 5, Kamo established definite superiority over the home side, who had to play second fiddle practically all the way. Kamo’s tally came by way of tries by Hooper (2), D. Ruddell (2). Hoey and Murphy and two conversions by M. Thorburn. Raisbeck scored for the red and blacks and Martin trimmed. Mr F. Little was in control. e ONERAIII’S SEVEN MEN. NO HOPE AGAINST CITY. Onerahi could only muster seven men for their engagement with City at Jubilee Park, and the local side had little difficulty in recording their third victory, A distressing feature was an injury to Alex.
