This season has not on the whole been a good one except possibly for the third firsts.

R. Jarden, however, has played an excellent game consistently throughout the season and has been rewarded by inclusion in the Wellington reps.

The seniors, who were poor to begin with, improved greatly to beat Wellington. They also had a very close game with St. Pats who just beat them. Also, at one stage, they had a good chance of winning the Hardham Cup, Unfortunately their form-fell and they receded from the picture.

The junior first and second teams both finished near the bottom; the latter team did give a few good displays.

The third firsts had only two losses one of which was against Hutt in the finals—rat a previous stage the results were reversed, Hutt being beaten by us, the first time they have been beaten in two years. At some time during the year they went north to play Te Aute. The game was very enjoyable although lost 19-17.

The third seconds were not very good—due mainly to the number of replacements they had to endure.

Weir House v. The Rest proved to be an excellent game, the result being uncertain up to the last minute. The final score was 16-18 to The Rest. This was a very stout effort on Weir House's part as they had one senior to the 13 The Rest had.
