P.B. 3 v. E.C. 0

A sodden ground and a tough game the previous Saturday against the All Japan team probably accounted for the lack of fire in the Poverty Bay team in their annual match against the East Coast.

It was the Bay's ninth win in a row against the coast, the only score being one try by Buster Taylor towards the end of the second half.

Buster Taylor dives over the line to score the only try of the game.

The powerful Coast and Bay forwards struggle for the ball in a line-out during the second half of the game.

Coast forwards John Manuel, Pep Nepe, Barry Colbert, T. Henare, Ian Macdonald (capt), Paddy Sherriff and Mick Chambers (No.16), concentrate on ball in a line-out as Brian McCallion (hand up) and Jim Kouka, both poverty Bay, prepare to leap for the ball.
