Entertaining Rugby For Finale Of The Season

The 1963 first - class rugby season at Rugby Park was fittingly brought to a close with an entertaining tussle between the Harlequins and Olympians teams, played on a perfect ground in brilliant sunshine before a large crowd last month.

Playing the last first-class game of his notable rugby career was the Harlequin captain, Auckland representative, and former All Black, Snow White, who holds the New Zealand record of 234 first-class games.
