Burton to Mckenzie'S 4
A sparkling final game between two Kahutia teams saw Des McKenzie's four take the honours from Jim Barrett's team for the top inter-club trophy, the Burton Cup. The McKenzie team deserved all credit as they went through the whole tournament without one defeat.
The sought after Burton Cup.
