Scorers for Australia were J. G. Amadee (4), P. E. Johnston (2), M. T. Hastie, C. V. French,. P. J. Bennett and H. Doerner, while New Zealand’s goal-keeper, J. Walsh, took the ball into his own goal once. R. Hatchwell (2), T. H. Logan and C. N. Williams' scored for New Zealand. The Australians showed more speed in the water and their handling was superior.
