IBligißllßßii RUGBY FOOTBALL MATCHES and PLAYERS ■ ■ ■ WHILE Stratford’s defeat of Old Boys on Saturday was no surprise. Old Boys put up a very crediable fight and held Stratford at bay for a great part of the match. Big scores were the order of the day, Tukapa beating New Plymouth Old Boys by a 29-poii‘it Margin and Hawera and Opunake beating Athletic and Eltham respectively by 27 points to nil. Inglewood, which is a team to be reckoned with this year, beat Star, and Patea showed that Waimate was not so good as had been thought. Hawera and Tukapa were impressive. Tukapa, in defiance of the Rugby Union, played the 2-3„2 scrum again. Results were; Northern Division. Tukapa 34 v. Old Boys 5. Stratford 22 v. United 0.8. 0. Inglewood 8 v. Star 3. Clifton a bye. Southern Division. Hawera 27 v. Athletic 0. Patea 14 v. Waimate 3. Opunake 27 v. Eltham 0.
