Creswell Cup Contest

Last year's winner, Dave Hughes, was first man home again in the annual Creswell Cup race up and down a couple of sizeable hills on either side of the swing bridge up Riverside Road. A gruelling race, organised by the Gisborae Canoe and Tramping Club, the event drew 16 entries.
