Messrs Eckersley, Spooner, Corbridge and Radford (skip) comprised the rink from the Manawatu Club, while Messrs Holdaway, Bull, Clements and Suhan (skip), were the holders who successfully defended the trophy, winning by 28 to 17. Levin had the better of the game right through, though it was a well-fought one, and quite a little excitement was in evidence when the scores were close. Levin Club received challenges from seven other clubs.
