RUGBY FOOTBALL HUIA-PIRATES v. TOKAANU MAORIS A match between Tokaanu Maori and a combined team selecJ-d from th Huia and Pirates Clubs, wJs played o the Domain on Saturday and results in a draw, 6—6, each side scoring tw tries. Don Derbidge was responsible fo the local team’s six points, whil Alariu and Otimi scored for the visi L tors. The latter’s try was scored righ under the bar in the closing stages o the game, but Hoko missed the kicl . at goal and the match ended wit) honours oven The ground was sodden before th game started, and to make matter worse heavy rain began to fall as sooi as play commenced, making it exceed ingly difficult to handle the greas; . ball. The visiting team consisted chief!; of young players and gave tho impres cion tha: it would have been very dan gC’-ous on a dry groundBarney Amorangi (centre three-quar ter), impressed greatly and put ii some nice penetrating runs. He is ar ex-Wa.nganui representative player. P. Kura (five-eighths), and Otim (wing) also put in some good work. For the Huia-Pirat«s team Bennet playea a good game at full-back, sav mg bis side repeatedly. Abbott, Hun ter and Derbidge were prominent, th< last-named proving himself to be f very d.uigercus player near the line. It was a great pity that climatic am ground conditions were so unfavour able, othe wise a bright and fast garni would probably have resulted. Both sides made the mistake oi Saturday of trying to pick up a greasy rolling ball instead of dribbling. Th< teams, lined out as follows: Tokaanu Alaoris (black): Ruiwai Turoi, Amorangi, Otimi, Tuiri, Hurt (capt), Kaipara, B. Hepi, Tawhiao, T Hepi, J. Hoko, Hehe, Takiwa, Alason Mariu. Huia-Pirates (maroon): Bennett, Ab bott, Bradley, Woodhead,' Keegan, Rau kawa, Edwards, Whai Pine, Wereta Bagley, Powell, Ormond, Hunter Sis son, D. Derbidge. The visitors attacked at the outsei and the maroons were compelled V forceThe blacks came again and Huia PiratGo infringed in their anxiety tc keep the attackers out, but Hura> shot at goal was unsuccessful. 'the maroon forwards, led by Der bidge, Abbott and Hunter, carried ail before them in a dribbling rush which ended m the ball going over the visi tors’ line for Derbidge to fall on it and score the opening try of the match. Pine failed with the kick at goal.—Huia-Pirates 3, Tokaanu 0. The blacks made desperate efforts tc equalise and their hqpes were raisec when Hoko had a shot at goal from a handy position, but the effort wa. 4 unsuccessful. Barney Amorangi caused a stir when he put in a great run which deeply penetrated the defence, but his pass on the line to (Jriuii went astray. Boon afterwards Amorangi was re spossible for another penetrating run that gained a lot of ground, but the advantage thus gained was nullified to a certain extent by a forward pass. The visitors pressed hard, but the maroons saved by forcing. Abbott and D. Derbidge headed a forward rush that carried the ball over the line for Derbidge to score his second try. Pine again failed with the kick.—Huia-l’irate.s 6, Tokaanu U. Half-time sounded soon afterwards with the scores unchanged. The first incident of note iu the second spell occurred when Alariu ‘ ‘ sold a neat dummy ’ ’ and scored the visitors’ first try. Hura failed to convert- —lluia-l’irates 6, Tokaanu 3. Fumbling by liuiwai, the visiting full-back, saw Powell and Bagley break away with the ball at their feet with nobody to beat, but unfortunately for the home team they kicked into touch, thereby' losing a certain try. Otimi, the Tokaanu winger, thrilled the spectators with a great, run down the side line and over lo goal line to score under the bar. Hoko missed the easiest of kicks and the game ende’l with the scores: Huia-Pirates 6. To kaanu 6. Air. F- Darvill was referee.
