WAIMATE

rugby; The senior game in the Waimate Rugby Sub-Union’s competitions, which was played at Morven on Thursday afternoon, attracted a fair attendance of spectators, who were treated to an excellent exhibition of football. The game was fast and interesting/ particularly in the second spell, when the ball was freely thrown about by either side, and the fortunes of the opposing teams constantly varied, play being taken up and down field in good passing rushes. Huimai eventually proved victorious by 11 points to six, the winning score comprising two tries by N. Cumming, and one by J. Fraser, a conversion being registered by T. Wesley. Southern’s scores were a try and penalty goal registered by W. Deady. Mr J. K. Clarke was referee. RUGBY LECTURE. On Wednesday night Mr H. C. Foster delivered a lecture to Sub-Union officials, players and supporters in Mr Brenton’s office on the rules of Rugby.
