An interesting game resulted in the Levin rink retaining the trophy by a margin of four points.

On the third head the challengers added another single, but Levin retaliated by adding a two and two consecutive fours, and a little later the score stood 13 —3 in favour of the home rink. However, the challengers got into their stride, and added a string of singles to their score, which they ultimately topped oh with a four, and by the time the twentieth head was played the score stood , 19 —17, leaving Poxton three to get on the last head to win. The Levin third, however, who had 'been a thorn in the side of the challengers throughout the game, drew in a nice one which cut Poxton out of four.
