MATCH TO BE REPLAYED. j f ( [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN* CORRESPONDENT.] i WHAN GAR EI, Wednesday. j The North Auckland Rugby Union this ! afternoon considered a protest by Mangonui against, a decision of the referee in the Harding Shield match against Whangarei last Saturday at Kaitaia. The dispute arose over the referee disallowing a kick after Mangonui had scored a try. The kicker grounded the ball and the Whangarei team / charged, the referee awarding no kick. The match ended in favour of Whangarei. 5 points to 3. Had the kick in question succeeded Mangonui would have retained the shield. _ , 1 The union decided that the match must a be replayed. £ t PRIMARY SCHOOLS TOUENEY. ,s i I j i: RESULTS IN WAIKATO. j o | V !
