The fact that the Country Associa- ; / tion starts its matches at 10.30 a.m. and draws stumps at 3.30 p.m. was responsible for some progress -being made, and before rain which fell a-bout 2 p.m. and compelled an 'earlier drawing of stumps than is customary, Brix-/ ton had gained a first innings victory • ’ over Urenui, scoring S 9 for three wickets to Urenui’s 54. Tikorangi A (59 without loss) was in a strong position against Tikorangi B (72). The, Tarurutangi v. Egmont Village match was <;? not played. r , BRIXTON DEFEATS URENUI
