Footballers of Weir
Thanks to Parker's lone try, North defeated South 3-0, in the annual match. The Weir fifteen to play "The Rest" for the Ruru Memorial Shield has not yet been selected, but some players are more or less certainties.
Promising forwards are Baunister and Langley, Mahood is ideally built for football and should attend practices more often. For genuine scrummaging Corkill and Ryan are superior. Parker is a fast flank forward who has a good sense of anticipation, but he should curb his propensity for off-side play.
One of the fastest and nippiest backs playing for 'Varsity is Ongley. Unfortunately, like Mahood, he does not seem to be enthusiastic about the game. Larkin is a heady back, but he could improve his defence.
