Otago had won the shield on six occasions to Southlands rnr.ee, and he was sure that no member of the Otago team grudged Southland the win for 1930. They had had f«n d o* n l k ? not J b ? i “ a abl e to play the tull 25 heads., and he believed the heavy green had suited the Southlanders, but theirs was a good representative, team, ana southland had secured a meritorious win, and it was with pleasure that he banded over the shield.
