-
These images were taken by Maurice Costello for the Evening Standard, the first of which was published on the 1st of October 1990 with the caption: “Kia Ora's Bunny Gripp looks away from the outside support of Peter Butler as he's tackled by Otahuhu’s Steve Message in yesterday's national club rugby league clash.”
An excerpt from Campbell Mitchell’s article read: “COURAGE and determination wasn't enough for Kia Ora to subdue a huge Otahuhu side in the quarterfinals of rugby league's national club competition at Memorial Park yesterday.
Otahuhu was too powerful for Kia Ora and overran the Manawatu champion 40-10The score, however, didn't reflect the tenacity of Kia Ora's defence or its exciting attacking play which continually threatened. and at times exposed a susceptible Otahuhu defence…”
“Scorers: Otahuhu 40 (Dean Noble 3, Steve Message 3, Jim Paul, Arthur Clark, Cliff Pritchard tries. Glenn Barlow con Pritchard con); Kia Ora 10 (Haimona Hekenui 2, James Hamilton con) HT 22-4.”
