The Elmburn Shield.
On a fine but breezy day the Elmburn Shield was up for grabs for the 46th time, the first in 1971.
Tournament organiser Neil Johnstone laying down the rules of engagement. [The most wins; if equal the number of points scored.]
Burnside regained the Elmburn Shield by 9½ – 6½.
A very pleasant afternoon, breezy conditions making bowling tricky at times but all games played in a wonderful spirit. Congratulations to Burnside, EP will be out to take the shield next season.
Total: Burnside 23 EP 22 since the first one in 1971.

Philip went out in round one, Jo in round two.

Men’s Double triples
Four losses; not the best way to finish the competition. EP1 would have been hoping for two wins to consolidate their first place but now have to wait to see how the following placed teams Riccarton Racecourse 1, Burnside 1 and Rangiora perform. Chances of remaining first are slim. Very! 4th.
Div. 1 EP1 v Halswell 2 B. McIntosh 16 – 23 N. Johnstone 10 – 21
