Dombroski secured, and with' a fine run all but reached the line, before being hauled down. From the ruck he again secured and dived over for a fine try, .which was not converted. Stung into action the Kaimata forwards carried the ball down-field, and from a scrum near the Norfolk line Kaimata hooked the ball, for M. Hevlihy to cut round the scrum, beat two men and score. Bennett failed to convert., Fast. up and down play followed and half-time came with no addition to the scores, which were 3 all. After halftime Kaimata infused more dash into their play, the forwards getting in among the Norfolk backs and keeping play in Norfolk territory. From open play J. Herlihy sheared and with a great; burst of speed ran round behind the posts. Jones failed to convert; For offside play Kaimata were awarded a free kick and J. Bennett added three points..
