Rowing cup to Avon

Avon, with twice as many points as any other club, won the D.C.L. Cup rowing regatta on Kerr’s Reach at the week-end. Avon finished with 44 points, Canterbury 22, and Christ’s College did well to take third with 17. The other clubs were Tlmaru and Union (both 9), Cure (7), and Akaroa (0).
