Auckland 3—Victoria 2

Auckland 3—Victoria 2

This was a very even fast game and Auckland were lucky to win. They scored the deciding goal from a penalty which was awarded for no apparent reason. Victoria opened the scoring as usual when Naidu beat Davies with an "earth-scorcher." Naidu was outstanding in this game but he was too well marked to be really dangerous. Stan George was the backbone of the defence and saved Victoria many times. The forwards Greenwood, Louis, Naidu, Tannahill and Holland all went well but some seemed to be lacking in fitness. Pemberton and Hudson both played excellent games as full backs.

Naidu and George were included in the NZU side which held a strong Canterbury VI to a one-all draw. Nick Greenwood was a reserve for this match.
