The attendance was large, and the .entries numerous. Teams from Milton and Kaitangata entered for the A Grade, which was very keenly contested throughout. In this section Wedderburn was runner-up. the Clyde team winning in great style. Alexandra High School won the B Grade, and Poolburn was the runner-up. This, too, was a very interesting group.
