Ruwhiu Shield A 1964 carpentry trainee who is now a joinery apprentice, Ben Ruwhiu of Ohura, has made a shield to be competed for by rugby teams from the two Christchurch hostels. Here he presents it to Dennis Skipper of Waitara, captain of Te Kaihanga Hostel's team, which beat Rehua Hostel boys 25–8. Holding the shield with Dennis Skipper is Peter Phillips of Urenui, who scored four tries during the match. Te Kaihanga's team won last year's under-17 Rehua and Te Kaihanga boys at the Ngati Poneke club National Publicity Studios rugby competition, and this year's under-18 competition. Seven Te Kaihanga boys were in the under-18 Canterbury representative team.
