On Saturday last the fourth match in connection, with the Green Cup competition was played on the Riwaka lawns, betwen Riwaka (holders) and Motueka (challengers), and resulted in a victory for the visitors by 66 points to 63. The lawns were in perfect order and called forth very favourable comments by the Motueka players. Mr J. McCarthy, who takes a keen interest in the appearance of the grounds and playing area is to be complimented on the results of his efforts as greenkeeper. Three clubs, Golden Bay, Motueka, and Riwaka are in the cup competition, and Motueka’s win, the first, is a most popular one. Riwaka will challenge again in February in an attempt to recapture the trophy, as this match will be the last for the season.
