Maori-Pakeha Benefit Match

In a benefit match for injured players a Maori team defeated a Pakeha team by 25 to 17.

The game was notable for the fact that with one exception all the tries scored came from back movements, indicative of the open play.

Brian Johnston passes to Dick Jones with Reece Johnstone in opposition. At far right is P.B. rep, half back S. Rutene.

W. Ackroyd skids across to score for Maoris with David Green and referee Gordon Forrester in hot pursuit.

Stand was well filled for Sunday game.
