Newton Reserves Overwhelm City in Whangarei Game
UNFAVOURABLE CONDITIONS OBTAINED WHEN NEWTON SENIOR RESERVES (AUCKLAND) MET CUT AT JUBILEE PARK IN A GAME IN WHICH THE VISITORS EASILY DOMINATED TO THE TUNE OF 29—9. A keen south-west wind swept a ground sodden by rain and rendered worse by several showers during the game. With the ball greasy and hard to handle, the game at times degenerated into Soccer, but on the whole maintained a good standard. City team was again well below normal strength, and with forwards like Housham. and backs like Sanders, Newton could not go wrong. Sanders, second live-eighths, registered 15 pom Is. securing three tries and as many conversions. In a game at Hikurangi, the home team defeated Huntly 18—0.
