Senior B Loss.

The Senior B Team, sadly depleted through injuries, went down to Petone 9-15. It was unfortunate that the team was not at full strength as this was the most important game, Varisity and Petone being level at the top of the championship ladder. The ground being extremely heavy, the game was confined almost wholly to the forwards.

Clendon and Lewis played good games, The Petone pack was too weighty and almost monopolized the ball in the scrums.

The Varsity backs spent most of the afternoon on defense, Brock and Betts having to stand up to a hammering from the Petone forwards. Hermans played a particularly good game at full-back and his line kicking saved the forwards, a lot of running about. Unfortunately Dean, who was defending well, suffered a broken collar-bone just after half-time.
