FIFTH GRADE RUGBY MATCH.

SCHOOL A 14 v.' SCHOOL C 0.

School A defeated School C by 14 points to nil in a fifth grade Rugby match played on Thursday. School C put up an improved showing. On several occasions it was very unlucky not to score. The A team on the other hand hardly played with its customary dash and gave the impression that it was not over-exerting itself. Webster, May and Gayton were outstanding in the School A team and Tamati, Miller, Corrigal and Moss in School C. Tries were scored by May, Webster, Clegg and Chatfield. Old converted one try. Mr. F.
