Third XV Matches
Third XV Matches.
V. C. v Karori. Won 9—0. Forwards played hard and solid, well supported by backs. Inder electrified the natives twice, and Palmer also won through after a neat dash. Waldegrave and Richmond played well.
V. C. v Stars. Lost, 9—0. Combination nil. Opposing forwards superior in tight word. O'Relly's consistent following up deserved more support.
V. C. v Selwyn. Lost, 9—5. Hard game against a slightly better team. We settled down to steadyplay rather too late. Score by Gibbons from a nice opening O'Reilly. Inder converted.
V. C. v Wellington. Lost, 5—0. Wretched display, our game all round much below form. Davie injured. Rutherford and Gibbons strove hard to avert defeat and Jackson, a recruit from IV, filled his position well.
V. C. v Epuni. Lost, 17—0. No definite information except "They had a great bullock who butted through us a dozen a a time." Tea and cakes were off, another sad disappointment.
