[ The likely match for Ash1 burton is the one aaginst [Otago on December 22. 23. ■and 24. It could also be an earlier fixture against Central Districts on December 15. 16. and 17. I Hosting the final of the [Shell Trophj has become a I costly business. In the three | years existence of the trophy j losses have been incurred on | each final.
