Whakapara Just Scrape Moms
Whakapara did not show up to expectations in their match with Kamo at Whakapara. and just managed to scrape home by a try to a penalty goal. The game was largely of a forward nature, and under the conditions both sets of forwards went well, but the backs failed to gel going, and this reflected against the winners, who held a big territorial advantage. Had their speedy rearguard been able to show their usual penetration, their score would have been much higher. Kamo played a good defensive .game, hut their attacks lacked sting, die ball seldom travelling out beyond ihe second five-eighth. Whakapara's try was scored by W. Graham, while .1. Taylor goaled with a penalty kick for Kamo.'
