AFTER THE MATCH BOTH TEAMS ENTERTAINED After the Rugby match between Taihape and Ruapehu on Saturday, both teams and officials were entertained at dinner at the New Taihape Hotel by the Taihape Rugby I nion. Mi John Quirk, president of the union, presided. A short toast list was honoured. The toast of the “Ruapehu Team and Union” was proposed by Mr Quirk, who added that the Tai ha pa Union were always pleased to receive a visit from Ruapehu. The match that day between the two unions was clean and hard fought and was played in a most friendly spirit. There was little to choose between the two teams. Taihape had experienced a lean year and did not expect to win. He was proud of the Taihape team and felt glad tha* the maroons had won their last game of the season. The name of Mr Hardy, manager of the Ruapehu team, was coup’ed with the toast. Mr Hardy said that it was a pleasure for Ruapehu to come to Taihape. He wished to endorse the remarks of the previous speaker in regard to the game being played in the best sporting spirit. Mr Moore, a member of the Ruapehu Union, congratulated Taihape on their win, which he thought was well deserved, and might have the effect of stimulating interest in Rugby in Taihape. Perhaps it was the best thing that could have happened. Speaking as an unbiassed spectator ho thought that the better team won and he at tribal ed Taihape’s victory io the fact that they had been better able to adapt themselves to the conditions than Ruapehu. He was looking forward to the return match at. Ruapehu next season.

Air Moore proposed the health of the “Taihape Team and Union.” In responding, Air W. O’Connor expressed the opinion that .the home team’s win would do a lot of good as Taihape had experienced a very lean year. This was not the fault of the union, but was partly due to unfavourable weather, combined with the fact that some players had forsaken football for golf. Although Taihape football had slumped this year he thought that it would leome into its own again and the victory over Ruapehu would probably stimulate enthusiasm for next year and make players keen to don tho jersey again. The toast of “The Referee” (Air C. H. Transom) was proposes by Mr Waterson, captain of tho Ruapehv team, who congratulated Air Transcnn on the way he had controlled the game. Afr Transom responded Afr A. Hall, captain of the Taihape team, congratulated Ruapehu on their play and added that it,was anybody’s game. Tho toast of the “Host and Hostess” (Afr and Airs Galbraith) and staff, coupled with the name of Afr Geo Baddeley, the ex-All Black, was proposed by Afr Sargent (Ruapehu', and re spon-ded to by Afr Baddeley, who, in speaking of Taihape football, pointed out that though the season had been a loan one, there was no cause to be discouraged as all towns had their lean periods, and he felt assured mat Taihape would come into its own again.
