East Coast Page

(By Frank Wynne-Jones)

A series of ladies' rugby matches have been held at Tokomaru Bay during the past few weeks to help raise funds for the Maori Education Foundation.

Our East Coast page this month features the game between Waima and United, which was attended by a record crowd, and which raised £53 for the fund.

A dazzling movement is stopped when a Waima player halts the progress of two Waited players and gives the straggling field a chance to reorganise

Dressed for the occasion were: Bill Campbell, (line umpire). Jack Chaffey (referee), and Paddy Milner (line umpire).

The squad of ambulance nurses assured players of expert attention
