A feature of the Hinemoa’s play was the understanding between their players, thus giving a good exhibition of combination. Federal, on the other hand, were disunited and failed to make use of good use of good scoring opportunities. Their outstanding player, however, was A. Borich, who did a tremendous amount of work and beat Hinemoa’s defence frequently. Scorers were:— Federal: B. Hughes (3), W. Spicer (2) and Gordon Hughes 11). Federal: H. J. Dyson (1). Result: Hinemoa 6, Federal 1. Messrs A. Le Brun and S. Hughes were the umpires. Junior Grade, Ratana 4. Collegiate School 1 Tech. Old Boys 4 Technical B 2. Primary Grade. Technical E 4. Tawhero 3.
