Ka Whawhai tonu! Ake! Ake Ake!"

—Bracken

Once again we have come to the regretted end of a season, which, though not very successful, perhaps, in the matter of mere victories, has given us some very good games. The wet weather which came almost unfailingly in the week-ends dissolved the number of matches played clown to nine—the necessity of having byes during the two vacations, also affecting the number. Out of the nine matches we played, we won two, but, as in many other cases, the actual result is no indication of the evenly-fought struggles and close finishes which marked many of the games of this season. The final result is better than that of last year.

The keenness shown at the beginning of the year has been steadily maintained throughout the season. Next year we hope to enter a team in the Junior Competition as well as the usual one in the Senior.

A general uplift was given the Club this year by the purchasing of new jumpers. May they cover hearts quick-beating with the thrill of many a victory next year.
