After the three inches of torrential rain which fell in less than 24 hours last month had finished, it left surface water flooding throughout the district. The roller-skating rink at Alfred Cox Park did not escape and was discovered the next morning bearing certain resemblances to a swimming pool, being entirely submerged by twelve inches of water.

Typical of the fierce rucks that formed is this one, being broken up by referee Ray Lundon.

Injuries marred the match. This one, Maori All Black winger, Pat Ransley, being attended by his father, St. John's Ambulance Cadet Officer, Mr I. G. Ransley, and watched by referee Lundon and Marist captain, Allan Rowlands, recovered to finish the game. Not so did H.S.O.B and Poverty Bay five-eighths, Don Green, who was taken from the field early in the game with a bad leg injury which will keep him off the field for the rest of the season.
