CUP WON BY OTEKAIKE By defeating Georgetown by 3 points to nil on Saturday, a try by G. Russell, Otekaike, after being runners-up several times, won the Waitaki Sub-union’s competition for the first time. Saturday s game was hard and fast, and play was mainly confined to the forwards.

Grant, who devoted a great deal of time to this side of Rugby, and continued to /frlay an important part in the activities for the betterment of football in the Waitaki distric.
