The South Otago banner competitions commenced on Saturday afternoon in hne but dull weather. Speculation was rife as to the prospect* of Toko Club’s three teams, owing to the great changes effected since last season. The First Grade team commenced the season by defeating Clinton (last year’s banner winners) on the Milton ground by 14 points to nil. The game, was uninteresting to the spectators, neither team having got into their proper stride. Fifteen mifiutes after commencement of play Murray secured in® Toko’s twenty-five trom a Clinton forward rush, id, eluding three opponents, he raced to the other /Sr, unC o ec ]i, e score beneath the posts (loko 3, Clinton nil). ' Three minutes later Murray scored again. Turnbull conP nil). In the second spell Woodhead secured from a passing rush in Clintons twenty-five, and dived over (11—nil). A minute from .all of time Murray scored his third try, picking up the ball trom a Toko forward'rush and scoring beneath the posts. The game ended: Toko 14, Clinton nil. Toko attacked during the greater part of the game, although Clinton made peiodic forward rushes on Toko’s territory, but the attacks lacked finish, and Toko’s defeilce was rsrely seriously troubled. Mr James A? t ® ara (Balclutha) was referee. VVith only two of last season’s players in their ranks. Toko II (the banner holders) travelled to Waitahuna, and were defeated by 18 points to 8. loko 111 were defeated at Kaitangata bv Creslent 111 by 18 points to nil.
