The match between the Kia Rah a and Civil Service teams was played on the Victoria Domain on Tuesday afternoon, and resulted in a meritorious win for the Civil Servants by three goals to nil.'

The Kia Ivaha’s placed a good, hard game, and towards the end of the second spell fought hard, but unsuccessfully, to better their position.
