Senior A

After continuing their successful run from last season for the first seven games of this season the "A's" lost four games in succession to destroy their chances of retaining the Jubilee Cup. Included in these last four games were losses to lowly rated Wellington College Old Boys and Onslow of the "Bottom Six." However cup favourites Petone were held to 9—6 in an enthralling game. Injuries to Gary Weinberg, Mick Williment and David Heather have seriously disrupted the back-line and while Weinberg and Williment have returned to the scene, Heather will be out for another three weeks. The backline has shown glimpses of its potential but without ever "clicking."

In the forwards performances have been of a generally high standard, reaching a peak against the strong Petone pack. Captain Kerry MacDonald has been an excellent example to his fellow forwards. New players in the pack have acquitted themselves well and have blended in successfully with the "old hands."
