SEDDON SHIELD RETAINED
NELSON Bth September. Nelson finally retained the Seddon Shield for 1928 by defeating Motueka-Gol-den Bay to-day by one unconverted try to nil. Nelson's try was scored during the first five minutes. Rain then fell during the rest of the first spell, and it was almost impossible to pick up the slippery ball. The play was confined to the forwards, and there was little to choose between the teams. Both full-backs, Bowers, of Nelson, and •Sexton, were outstanding, and handled wonderfully under the bad conditions.
