Junior "A."

A much-improved side, the Junior "A's" gave the competition leaders, Upper Hutt, a big fight, and were somewhat unlucky to go down 8—10. It was a great game, fast, exciting, and hard. The forwards were right on the job, with Stacey, K. Smith and Grayburn well to the fore. The backs tackled determinedly, Kempthorne, in particular, giving his man a torrid time. A. Mason played an outstanding game behind the scrum, and kicked two excellent goals.

Next week the team broke Hutt Army's run of seven consecutive wins by a 3—0 victory in a mud scramble. Stacey, Millar and Archibald revelled in the heavy going, while MacCool and Fowler nursed their, forwards, with judicious kicking. Nice work, men!
