Awanui Again
Played at Oruru. the MangonuiAwanui clash featured loose forward rushes. Territorially Mangonui had slightly the better of the game, but the greater experience of Awanui gave them victory. Awanui’s forwards did not play as a pack, and perhaps a loss would give them the necessary inducement to work harder.
Following a loose scrum Heke Yates beat the opposition to score. Soon afterwards a back movement ■ended in Hanna scoring. Heke Yates converted with a great kick. Just on half-time Awanui went further ahead when Tai Yates scored from a mi.sfield by the opposition’s full-back. Mangonui opened its account with a penalty by N. Cameron, from a scrum infringement. A similar incident enabled Heke Yates to raise the flags Just on time Mangonui reduced the leeway when N. Cameron gained a try. Mr J. Webster refereed.
