Linwood scored the winning points in the closing stages of the match, prevailing 10-6. David Robertson and Peter Williamson scored tries for Linwood and George Wright kicked one conversion. Royce Brewer scored Burnside’s try and it was converted by Andrew Maclennan.
Christ’s College proved superior to Shirley Boys’
and had a convincing win, 20-0, Michael Hutton (two), Hamish Redfern, and Stephen Cottrell scored tries for College and David Tudhope succeeded with two conversions.
St Thomas’s was too strong for Cashmere in the other match and gained an easy 28-3 victory. Anthony Charlton, Brendan Healey, Richard McLaughlan and Anthony O’Connell scored tries for the winner which also was awarded a penalty try. lan McKendry kicked four conversions for Cashmere, Mark Greenslade kicked a penalty goal.
