Shaw Baton Relay

Last Saturday two fit and fast University teams splashed their way into the major placings in the first Interclub run of the season. Running in conditions far from ideal Colin Candy at the end of the first lap had placed the "A" team in handy second position. Dick Gilberd, somewhat recovered from Extrav excesses, quickly closed the gap with an excellent run to take over the lead. The lead was consolidated by two good lass from Mike Trubridge and Tim Beaglehole so that with the University's three mile record holder. Graeme Stevens to take over from Peter Joyce, the clubs second successive victory in this event was assured.

Meanwhile a handy run by Bob Croker and a first class effort by John Hunt had brought the "B" team up Into third place. This good work, kept up by John Riseborough, Icuan Hyslop, and Tony Gow, was capped by John Mahon who dashed away from Scottish to gain second place.

Saturday's successes give some indication of the club's strength this season and suggest that provided the necessary training is done, there is no reason why University should not be among the leaders in the Masterton Relay or any other interclub event this season.
