Marching AMBERLEY CONTESTS

Strong Junior Section The second marching contests of the ' season were held yesterday when the Amberley-Waipara association conducted a meeting at the Amberley Domain. The teams marched in open and novice sections into which they were graded after the last contests a fortnight ago. Thirty-six teams took part in the senior, junior and midget sections. The junior section is very strong this season with 17 teams taking part. The marching was well received by a large crowd. The ground was very dry and at times appeared a little slippery. Some of the competitors had difficulty keeping their feet. Results were: — Senior Open. Champion team: Philips HI-Z: runner-up. Downings Red Robins. Display: Philips HI-Z.
