RUGBY FOOTBALL.

SCHOOL MATCH AT MANAIA. The Manaia Convent and Otakeho met the Manaia Public School at • Manaia Domain on Saturday, and after 2 a close and interesting game the former proved victorious by 13 to 9. j This is the second occasion on which j the combined team has defeated the : Public. The Public School won the : toss, and Bourke kicked off for Con- j vent. The ball was returned to Yin- ! cent (Convent) on the wing, and he ' made a great run down the line; when blocked he cut in cleverly, and drew first blood a minute after starting. C. Bourke converted with an excellent j kick. After the kick-out play was of j an even character until On Kee (Public) secured, and, beating the opposi- ' tion, scored a good try, which Green- 1 hill failed to convert, although the at- j tempt was a good one. On resuming ! Convent rushed the play down field, and continued to press until Greenhill (Public) broke through with the ball at his toe, and, a Convent back mulling, he secured the leather on the bounce, beat the two remaining backs ! and touched down. Murfitt failed to ' convert. The Convent forwards made • things awkward for the Public for a ! time, but they were equal to the occa-'. sion, and carried play into their op- I ponents' quarters. After some hard I play in Convent's 25, Greenhill again secured from near the touch line, and scored a good try at the corner, which he again failed to convert. The Convent boys now woke up and initiated several good forward rushes, from one of which Eaves scored, and C. Bourke again added the major points. Although the Public made great efforts ] to increase their score the defence was ! sound, and at half-time the scores ' were: Convent-Otakeho 10j Public 9. j Immediately play commenced after the | interval the Convent forwards set uo a hot attack on the Public's line, and. only good defence kept them out. Both teams were attacking and then defending in turn. Finally from a loose rush the ball came out to Vincent again on the wing, and after another fine run he added another try to his credit, which Bourke failed to convert, making Convent 13 points. Play continued up and down, scores on either side being narrowly averted. On one occasion On Kee raced over I the line, but the ball had gone out of i ' touch, and play was brought back, j No further score resulted, and the : game ended as above stated. Mr J. J Christie refereed one half, and Mr C. Jones the second. ' Should the Convent now defeat Kapuni, they will be on equal terms with the Public, which would necessitate a play-off between these two teams. j In.'the list of names of Hawera ' players t^ meet Tukapa on Wednesday it New Plymouth Lemm should also have be^n included as one of the . emergencies.

MANAIA HIBERNIAN SPORTS

The Hibernian Sports Committee are to be heartily congratulated on the splendid programme submitted last Saturday to the general public. The climatic conditions were not too good, the morning settiag in with dull and windy weather, and at about 2 p.m. boisterous weather set in, with rain and a howling gale, which no doubt added in no small degree to the discomfort of all present. Notwithstanding this the officials got off all the events to the programme time without the least hitch of any description. There was a record attendance, and in spite of weather conditions every person was well pleased and spoke highly of the initial programme of the Hibernian Sports. The different committees are to be heartily congratulated for the fine and able manner in which they carried out their respective duties. Great credit is due to the joint secretaries (Messrs W. Badley and C. Burke) for having every detail in perfect order. Their duties, which were many, were carried out with every satisfaction to all. Mr Jas. Daley (president) deserves great credit for looking after guests and friends who attended the meeting from different centres"; also the different stewards and other officials who worked so hard to make the sports such a success. The catering was in the hands pf a large ladies' committee, who were kept busy the' whole day, and who did splendid business. The Hibernian Sports Club owe a debt of "gratitude to the ladies for the splendid "In ariner id whibh they catered for public. The takings were considerable, arid will add m no small, way to the funds of the "Sports Club. The Manaia Municipal Brass Band played a programme during the afternoon, which was much &p--predated. Visitors were present from as far north as New Plymouth and Waitara, and south as far as Waverley. High Jump—C. Hansen and Nuku tied at 4ft 10in, On Kee 3

Nieison kindly supplied excellent music, The ball was opened with the Grand March, in which over 150 children in . beautiful fancy dresses took part. The 3cene was a charming one as the march ' was gracefully carried out, the children forming from it without a hitch into sets for the Lancers. The Fascination Polka and Sir Roger de Coverly were nicely danced, and the behaviour of the children throughout was good. All had an enjoyable time, even the onlookers who crowded the gallery, stage, and part of the hall. The decorations of the previous night were left. Several friends kindly lent large and beautiful mirrors, and these, whrh were the chief feature in the decorative scheme for the walls, added greatly to the brilliance of the scheme on both nig&ts. A splendid supper was provided, Geoxfrey Hammonds (Chinaman) Billie-Bennett (Richard, Duke ot York; •.Kathleen Hickey (Cobweb), Pearl Dor nauf (Folly), Gerda Jorge'nsen (Earl; i Victorian), Hazel • Jorgensen (Lib jerty), Eileen Christie (Bat), Jaci I Christie (Samoan), Bruce Christie (White Rabbit), Royclon Christie (JKewpiej, Leonard Vine (Jockey), trances Waiker (Spanish Dancer;, Flora Walker (Powder Putt), Malcolm Walker (Butcher;, Emily Davis (Signboard), Allan On Kee (Chinaman;, Bruce Born© (iS'igger), Sprouil (Kewpie), Clara Kothery" (Old "Who Lived in a Shoe), Hawera & Normanby Star, Volume XLII, 2 July 1923, Page 2
