In Auckland

A RUGBY football team composed entirely of Samoans, played a match in Auckland on September 13.

However, the team was not from Samoa—it was a visiting Marist Second Grade team from Wellington.

Earlier in the year an all-Cook Islands team, made up of Islanders domiciled in Auckland, took the field.

Following the visit of the Welling ton Samoans, the Auckland Marist club now plans to organise a similar team along with its present all- Polish team.

Although the Wellington visitor]

lost their game on September II a good time was had by all at social evening which followed thi game.
