Tasman eonimenced well 1 and scored two converted tries and a potted goal, before Tikaokaos were able to open their account. Supporters of the former were confident that on this occasion the Greens were going to win, but their hopes were not realised. Tikaokaos, after strengthening their ranks, gave Tasnian a busy time, and by the close <if the game had secured 23 points. WANDERERS V. HUIAS The match Wanderers v. Huias was watched with considerable interest, in view of the fact that the destiny of the Cup depended largely on the day's result. It did not, however, prove' to be the spectacular game that ,was looked for, play on the whole being rather disappointing. Wanderers at half time led by C points to nil. With the change over and Huias having the breeze in their favour, it was thought that the snores would be evened up; but not until the last few minutes did Huias gain their only score—a, potted goal cleverly manoeuvred by Sixton. Wanderers have not lost a single match this season; and by defeating Huias on Saturday, become the winners of the senior cup.

TASMAN V. TIKAOKAOS

Tasman (green) pressed to Tikaokaos (white) quarters from the kick-off, but a counter move by Stevens and Cowiu carried play to Greens line where a five yards scrum was given. Operations shifted to neutral ground and Brooks gathering in the leather broke away. Hickrftott smartly cleared. Stevens and Oowin again led'Whites to the attack and a scramble on the line followed. Tasman kept pegging away and 'invaded opponents territory. Brooks secured and started off, the' ball going to Herd and later back to Brooks for the final, effort—a score under the posts. Brooks also, added the major points. Tasman 5, Tikaokaos 0. The visitors renewed their offensive, and the Whites were kept busy. Brooks again came into the picture, closely followed byHerd, but the latter failed to take the pass and the movement broke down. Not to be beaten Brooks picked up in the 25 and potted a beauty. Tasman 9, Tikaokaos 0. Tikaokaos playing shorthanded were compelled to employ defensive tactics. Their opponents hammered away and from a serum Brooks secured and reached the line. He was again successful with the kick. Tasman 14, Tikaokaos 0. After being reinforced the Whites engineered a passing rush in which Stevens, Hiekmott, Stevens and Stuart took part, a knock-on spoiling, however, a splendid chance. Brooks cleared from a tight corner and by good following up the ball was carried to Whites 25. In a counterattack play was rushed up field and, from a scrum, Bradley secured and transferred to Stevens to Hiekmott, who scored. Bradley converted. Tikaokaos 5, Tasman 14. Soon after an attempt by Inglis, Goodall and Stevens resulted in 'Stevens touching down. Bradley again converted. Tikaokaos 10, Tasman 14. Tasman failed to push back the opposition and off-side play cost them a further score. Stevens put over a good kick. Tikaokaos 13, Tasman 14. The Whites still took charge, the ball being handled by Bradley, Stevens and' Inglis. The last-named punted and McKee gave relief by forcing. An infringement by Tikaokaos placed the visitors in a favourable position. A vigorous attack was set up but Greens were compelled to concede ground and subsequent to solid play in the visitors territory, A. Fry went over for a try. No goal resulted. Tikaokaos IG, Tasman 14. The Whites penned Tasman in their own 25, where, after a general scramble, Stevens came to light with a potted goal. Tikaokaos 20, Tasman 14. The Greens seemed incapable of keeping back their opponents, and the ball was taken to the corner by Stuart and Bennett. Following the resulting lineout and a serum, temporary relief was given Tasman by Whites being penalised. Just on time, in a passing rush, Stevens to Bennett to Stuart, the last-named scored. The kick at goal failed. Tikaokaos 23, Tasman 14. Mr J. Goodver controlled the match.
