However, it was left to this player, who otherwise was a 'distinct weak link in the Old Boys backs, to score the all-important fequallising try. The forwards started a loose rush, and, with Massey and Collins joining in, the ball was taken right down the field, for Collins to complete. Tapper made it five all. In the remaining ten minutes the home side fought desperately to regain their grip. Holm wood narrowly failed with a drop-kick from a mark, and just at the end Ferguson was caught playing the ball on the ground. The breach occurred right in front of Old Boys’ goal, but Conway, placing the ball upright, kicked wide of the bar, and it rested thus: Hikurangi 5 Old Boys 5 The teams were:— Hikurangi: Holmwood, Campbell, Rarity, Procter.
