PAHIATUA RETAIN BYRNE CUP During the week-end Pahiatua Bowling Club successfully defended its right to retain the coveted Byrno cup when they engaged Dannevirke players on the Pahiatua greens. The rinks were:—Murphy, Carrad, Petersen and A. Bisset (skip) 20, beat Davis, Web ley, Cole and Tatare (skip) 19. Dannevirke, after losing the first head, took several in succession, and although Pahiatua scored an odd one or two, it was not until the gamo was nearly finished that they mado up the lead. Dannevirke, after losing the lead, drew on terms at tho 20th head, where the scores were 19-all. The last head went in favour of Bisset’s men, who thus retained tho cup by one point, a similar margin to that which they took the cup away with in the last game with Dannevirke.

DIXON CUP CHALLENGE

On Saturday the Pahiatua Bowling Club sent four rinks to Feilding where they spent on enjoyable day on the Oroua green, one rink engaging in a match for tho Dixon cup. This was a most exciting game and at one stage it looked as if Pahiatua would be successful, but No. 3 of the defending rink brought oil a good shot which put an end to the challengers’ hopes. Oroua also won on the aggregate by 104 to 59.
