Interclub matches

The first round of interclub matches was concluded last week.

The "A" team consisting of Mr and Mrs Bradburn, Miss S. Porter, D. Rew, and G. Harvie had little difficulty in defeating a team from Aotea.

The "B" team also won its match against Ngaio, but with a large number of shooters in the lower grades, Ngaio was too strong for the "C" team.
