SEDDON SHIELD MATCH BULLER BEATS NELSON IN FINAL GAME Buller beat Nelson by 9 points to 3 in the last game of this season’s Seddon Shield series at Victoria square, Westport, on Saturday. The game was played in driving rain with a strong westerly wind blowing down the field. The attendance was badly affected by the weather, and good handling was impossible under the conditions. Nelson won the toss and elected to play with the wind. The half-time score was 3 to 0 in the visitors’ favour. In the face of the strong wind Buller defended well to keep Nelson down to a three-points lead. Buller had a territorial advantage for most of the game, and although it was a fairly close contest, Nelson never looked like the winning team. Buller played only seven men in the scrum, and the eight Nelson forwards time and time again pushed - Buller off -the ball. Buller scored three tries, and Nelson one. For Buller, Stewart. Hill, and Strachan showed up in individual dashes. Neighbours, in his new position at fullback, was sound without being brilliant. Dunn and Butterfield played useful games, but Finlayson. at half-back, was disappointing, and lacked the dash of his recent displays. Orman, Mason, Wilson, and Lake were prominent in aljL the forward play, and Caldwell and Brown showed up with some good efforts in the second half. Phipps and Pratt were always up with the play, but Phipps, who played as loose forward with a roving commission, might have been of more use in the pack. In the Nelson side Brinsden and Cooke had a lot of' defensive work to do, and with Costello, saved the situation often. For Nelson, Watson and Busch showed up on attack, but their opportunities were few. Boyce was safe, and Scoltock, the fullback. handled well in the difficult conditions. Craig, McLean, and Drummond were prominent in loose rushes, but Lovell. Andrews, and McKay showed up in the line-outs. .The hooking of Fleet against the re-, doubtable Orman was a feature of the game. Lusty was always in the thick of The Play Nelson kicked off with the wind, and , td ® f Sl ds r us hed play to the Buller line.
