Crowe, had resigned. owing to his work taking him out of the town. The club had won the Duff Cup, played for by the senior clubs of New Flymouth. The committee thought it opportune to remark on the even distribution of trophies to different clubs, and commended the young senior club in New Plymouth, Moturoa, on the fine performance in winning the Priest Shield.
