Waiau led 3-0 at half-time. In the second half Otautau played better, but was unable to finish off movements. After a good passing rush by the Waiau backs W. Cleaver scored in the corner. The kick was unsuccessful. Waiau 6, Otautau 0. Towards the end of the game an Otautau player speculated, but M. McKerchar gathered in the ball and scored in the corner. His kick was unsuccessful.
