MANIOTOTO JUNIOR RUGBY
STRATH-TAIERI WIN COMPETITION By the surprise win by Patearoa over Ranfurly and Patearoa on Saturday, Strath-Taieri became the winners of the 1949 competition. As Patearoa had not won a match throughout the season it was fully expected that a win would be recorded by Ranfurly and a play-off would be necessary between Ranfurly *and Strath-Taieri to decide the premiership. In Saturday’s game, however, the Patearoa team showed a pronounced improvement, and in both backs and forwards held a decided advantage over their opponents, and finished the game winners by 12 points to 6. JUNIOR COUNT'S TEAM The following team has been selected to represent Maniototo in their match with the Metropolitan Fourth Grade team at Dunedin on September 17:—Backs: O.
