In the match between North Shore and Papakura played at the Ellerslie Domain, C Peterson of North Shore scored 5 tries while playing in the forwards. It was suggested in the New Zealand herald match report that this may have been a record for a forward in senior matches. It was mentioned in the same newspaper that Jim Murray, who had joined Manukau at the start of the season had been a Hawke's Bay rugby player prior to coming to Auckland. In the Manukau v Newton match, Barnard was on debut for Newton. He had previously been a South Island representative. Watkins was also now playing with Newton after previously having played for Richmond and Mount Albert. During Ponsonby's 8–8 draw with City they brought up their 5,000 point in the senior grade competition becoming the second team to do this after City had done it earlier in the season.
