F. Thompson, president of the Wairarapa Rugby Union in presenting the trophies won during the season. “The club was formed in days of most club members’ grandfathers, 61 years ago. The first match was played in a .paddock next to where the Royal Gak Hotel now stands. Since 1900 the club has won the championship 23 times. The juniors had also won the championship this year. The Reid Family's cup, in memory of thelate Mr Chas Reid, which was competed for between Carterton and Greytown, had been won by Carterton. What makes the club so successful? Firstly, they train from the beginning of the season; secondly, they play as a team, and thirdly, they had the people of Carterton behind them. The club had also always encouraged junior players.” Mr Thompson emphasised the prominent | part Carterton ex-players were taking | in Rugby administration. "We all wish Mr J. Fitzgerald a speedy recovery | and sympathise with him in having the misfortune to break his leg in the last few minutes of the last game of the year,” said Mr Thompson. | Mr Thompson presented the various trophies as follows: —Redmond Cup, I Carterton Club (accepted by Mr F.
