DISTRICT CRIBBAGE ASSOCIATION SUCCESSFUL SEASON The committee of the Geraldine District Cribbage Association, in its annual report, says that the season proved most successful, six teams taking part in the competition. Ten rounds were played, the results being as follow:—Geraldine Citizens 281, Orari Bridge 274, Raukapuka 261, Geraldine Bowlers 258, Oddfellows 224, and South End 216. Owing to the generosity of Mr H. W. W. Williamson, who gave a handsome silver cup in memory of his father, a doubles competition was inaugurated, and subsequently proved a great success. The cup was awarded to the pair scoring most games during the season, and was won by Messrs A. L. Brenton and T. Twigg, of the Citizens’ team, with a total of 77. The finances were satisfactory, there being a credit balance of £l/4/4. In conclusion the committee thanked the caterers for their kindness during the season. Miss F. Williamson and Mr G. Watts for the use of rooms, and all those who had helped in any way to make the season so successful.
