BEBBINGTON SHIELD.
BUSH DEFEAT BANGITIKEI. GROUND A QUAGMIRE. PAHIATUA, August 21. At Rugby, Bush successfully defended the Bebbington Shield, defeating Rangitikei by 12 to 5. Bush waded to victory through a sea of mud. Rain fell throughout, the ground being a quagmire. Bush, with the wind in the first spell, adapted themselves better to the conditions and led by twelve to nil. Wolland scored two tries and Wright one, and Udy kicked a penalty. The forwards were much superior. Strange to say, the backs did all the scoring. In the second half, Rangitikei were a bit better in the exchanges. Dawbin scored a try, B. Cameron converting.—(P-A.)
