Old Bebbington Shield rivals, Horowhenua and Bush, met at Levin Domain yesterday in the last match for that shield this season. Although' weather conditions were perfect for fast, open Rugby, Bush .forwards set out to make the game a forward one, and in this they were successful until after half way through the second half when Horr.whenua commenced throwing the ball about with better results. Horowhenua (the holders) were fully extended by their opponents before they ran winners by 13 points to S.

The first spell ended three all (a try each). In the second half play was more even. Early in the spell Tayh: r (Horowhenua) potted a beautiful goal, then Galvin scored for Bush, Udy converting. A quarter of an hour before the call of time Bush looked like winning, but in an exciting finish Roberts and Warren scored tries for Horowhenua neither of which were converted, the last try being registered as the whistle sounded.
