FOOTBALL A team from Shannon visited Turakina on Saturday and beat the home team 10 - 9 in an evenly contested game. Tries for the visitors were ( scored by J. Robertson and F. Peach both being converted by Myers, while Turakina’s points came from three unconverted tries, two by S. Thompson and one by M. Carmichael. The local backs have a bad habit of hanging on to the ball too long and it they hope to have any success in the forthcoming competition this will have to be remedied. This was particularly noticeable on Saturday when they were caught in possession on a number of occasions. PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. W.
