Third "B."
Third "B."
Vance Henderson's men, like the Germans in Crete, found the Porirua Maori Battalion a wee bit too tough for them, and the least said about the game the better. The Porirua team is undoubtedly too strong for this grade, Mr. Moore!
In spite of this setback they gave Oriental a great tussle on Saturday, and were rather unfortunate to go down 3—0. A scoreless draw would have been a better indication of the game.
Congratulations: To skipper Sam Meads and Ray Shannon on gaining places in the Wellington Representative Second XV. If the 'Varsity-Army game was any criterion, Meads could quite easily have locked for the Rep. "A" team without weakening the scrum at all.
