Coromandel kicked off with the sun behind them, and were soon on the defensive with the heavier Colville pack rucking well and winning most of the set scrums. Bright and Wishnowsky broke through but a good kick by fullback Lang eased the position for Coromandel. Play continued around mid-field for most of the first spell with neither side doing much with the ball, except dropping it or taking it back into the forwards. Wishnowsky missed a penalty for Colville and Fuller missed one for Coromandel just before half-time, and the teams changed over without scoring.

The second spell was only a repetition of the first with both sides being penalized frequently for lineout and scrum infringements. Finally, after a series of penalties for holding the ball on the ground, McKeddie raised the flags with one for Colville.
Colville 3, Coromandel 0.

The reverse seemed to spur the Coromandel forwards to life and they carried play into Colville twenty-five with a good rush. Play stayed on the Colville line for nearly 15 minutes but the defense held. Colville was penalized for offside play and Fuller evened the score with a very good kick against the wind.
Coromandel 3, Colville 3.

Shortly after the kickoff, Coromandel again attacked and a short kick over the fullback’s head bounced right for Coromandel, for Fuller, with Gamble in support to score wide out. The extra points were added, making the score Coromandel 8, Colville 3.

Coromandel forwards were now playing much better and the ball was coming out much cleaner but bad handling spoiled many promising movements. The game ended without any addition to the score.
Coromandel 8, Colville 3.

Mr. Rivers was the referee.

Coromandel will now meet Kennedy Bay in the final.
