Linwood High School appears to have a good chance: of winning the tournament, but the strength of many schools is unknown. Linwood is drawn in section I with Marlborough Boys’ College, St Paul’s Collegiate School (Hamilton), and Waitaki Boys’ High School. There are 150 visitors for the tournament, all of whom will be billeted in Christchurch.
