In the senior game played at Patea, the local team was definitely outclassed by Kaponga who, in the first spell, dominated the game, Patea very seldom coming out of their own twenty-five. Patea were allowed a large number of free kicks which held Kaponga back, the half-time score being 8 nil, a penalty goal and a converted try. In the second spell, Patea started off with a great burst and had Kaponga down on the line, but after that Kaponga again dominated and scored three more tries. Patea scored a try and kicked a penalty goal. Kaponga forwards were on top and, for Patea, 1 Dalton played well, whilst Alan Rich- ‘ ards, who played full-back in the first i half, improved the forward pack j which he joined in the second spell, i The score, Kaponga 22, Patea 6, was • evidence that the better team won.
