It is the only team to have won both its matches and has a one-point lead over Papanui Working Mens Club. The Caversham goalscorers were John Moodie and Marc Chidley, with Derek Neill scoring for Shamrock. The Shamrock striker, Joe Mullins, was sent off for arguing during the match.
Papanui deservedly beat Cashmere-Wanderers, 2-1, at Queen Elizabeth II Park No. 2, with goals from Mark Lynn and Alan McCall, while John Findlay scored for Cashmere. A penalty by Findlay which would have earned Cashmere a point was well saved by the Papanui goal-keeper,. Tom
Daly, in the final minute. Two goals from Stan McGaffin gave Woolston Working Mens Club its first win of the competition over Green Island at Garrick Park. Woolston created several scoring chances but sound goal-keeping from Geoff Barnes in the Green Island goal kept Woolston’s score down.
