BULLS

FOOTBALL [ From the “ Chronicle’s ” Special Correspondent. ] Kotahitanga visited Bulls on Wednesday, and outclassed, the local juniors winning by 37 points to nil, the visitors showing superiority in combined play. Mr D. Howard was referee. The local boys held their own for the first 20 minutes when, from a mark W. Chapman kicked a good goal from a handy position. Soon afterwards Wikohika secured and following up a

short punt crossed uuder the posfs. Paki had no trouble in converting. Bulls were penalised for offside play and Paki kicked a good goal from well out. Gibson scored soon after, the kick failing. Within a few minutes Chapman secured and after "dummying” through the black forwards passed on to Gibson who dived over well out. Paki converted with a beautiful kick, the spell then ending Kotahitanga 19. Bulls nil. The second half had not long started when Te Ruka got over well out, then Gibson broke through well out, Hetlett adding the major points. Wikohika was next to score, Hetlett succeeding with the kick. The black forwards made determined rushes but their efforts lacked finish and proved fruitless. Just on the close of ’ the spell Metakinga dashed over and Hetlett converted, the game ending Kotahitanga. 37, Bulls 0.
