THE 1958 SEASON:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although Buller this year won only two of its ten fixtures, two others were drawn, and apart from the match at Christchurch the margins of defeat were generally small.<\/p>\n

Successful defences of the Seddon Shield against Marlborough and against Golden Bay-Motueka were made before West Coast returned to Greymouth with the emblem of supremacy in the area of the participants.<\/p>\n

Otago\u2019s visit to Westport was made after a space of thirty-four years, and Wairarapa\u2019s after thirty-three years, the complete list of matches for the season being:<\/p>\n

v.<\/strong> Canterbury At Westport<\/em> Lost 0 to 6<\/strong>

\nv.<\/strong> Marlborough At Blenheim<\/em> Won 14 to 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

J.B.Shaw (Westport Old Boys) was again a South Island trialist \u2014 at Christchurch. Trials were held this season to provide a Test side against the visiting Australians.<\/p>\n

Karamea Sub-Union was unable to carry on, its assets being transferred to Karamea Club.<\/p>\n

The Club was affiliated direct to Buller Union, and had teams in the junior and third grade competitions.<\/p>\n
