to have the legs to get across the line but was
helped in by a Huntly defender.
Both goal-keepers were called on t o pr ove

and sharp reflexes. Ngaruawahia's win cl os es up t h e

H u n t l y m a r k s m a n Flowerday was marked
out of contention by Tozer, and his switch to the
opposite wi n g fou n d h i m a l m os t starved by his
team mates although United gave him almost too
much room in wh i ch t o m ove. Hun t l y' s six
