Feilding 7. Manawatu scored one on the next head. Feilding then followed with a single and a three, putting them two in the lead. In the next head, Manawatu scored one. The board showed 13 all on the 15th head, singles followed on the next four heads," the scores on the 19th being 15 all. Feilding got one ahead at the next and when the skips went down for the last, Manawatu was lying 3. Herdman drove the kitty into the ditch and lay the shot. Corbridge drew to the ditch with his first and just rolled in, but succeeded in drawing the shot with his next hall, making the score 16 all — Feilding thus retains the Cup, entitling it to have its name on the shield.
