ZINGARI PREVAIL

Advantage Taken Of Opportunities By taking advantage of its opportunities, Zingari-Richmond beat Dunedin by six points to nil. Tries were scored by B. Hellyer and D. Sims. The first half was evenly fought, both teams having periods of supremacy in territorial play. The majority of the match was played in an uninspiring fashion, but when ZingariRichmond scored, the tempo of the game increased. , , , The Dunedin forwards took advantage of every opportunity, but R. Orr, Zingari full-back, proved an impregnable barrier of defence. His fielding was excellent and few of his many kicks for the line failed to reach their objective. He concentrated on defence and did not join the back line movements as part of his usual C. Garden played well in the tight for Zingari and led the forwards in several rallies. After a misfield by the Dunedin backs, the Zingari forwards rushed upon them. A good rush for the line bustled the Dunedin rearguard into mistakes and B. Hellyer was able to cross in a tackle After drawing first blood, the Zingari forwards seemed to gain new life, ana they attacked with more vigour. The forwards gained possession and after a passing movement the ball went to L. Watson, the Zingari centre, who passed to Sims. Several weak tackles were evaded and Sims crashed across the line to give Zingari a 6—o lead. The final few minutes were evenly fought. The referee was Mr J Stewart.
