Martin established an early lead on Cooksley and held it throughout. Fenwick had a very comfortable win over Ramsay, who could not get going, while Kershaw, who opened with a four, had no difficulty in accounting for Morgan, running up a considerable lead. over the latter stages.

Bary just got home against Morgan in the fourth round. The Palmerston North player led 15 —9 at the end of the 13th head, but Morgan then took four heads in a row to come on level terms.
