The green was in perfect order, and the game was a most enjoyable one, end interesting up to about the 15th head, when Reid’s team kept well in the lead. I regret that I cannot give the detailed scores, as other bowlers played on the rink, and rubbed out the figures on the board. I congratulate the winners as they played the better bowls, and the best wishes of the club members will be extended to them on their success in the Wairarapa champion of champion, rinks. The losers are also to be congratulated on their attaining the position of runners-up. Wall Cup.
