Dunning and J. Wilson, made 62. Wilson 'eventually scored 64. which was a good effort. Wickets fell fast at one stage, and the Manukau batsmen tried hard to check the attack.

LEAGUE CODE TRIALS A second series of trial matches was conducted by the Auckland Rugby League at Carlaw Park on Saturday afternoon, nine clubs taking part.
