Players from as far afield as Auckland and Southland contested the South Island tennis championships at Rutherford Park. All the A grade titles went to outside players but in the B grade Nelson players won their finals. Excellent organising ensured the smooth running of the tourney. Much of the credit for this belongs to Mr Brydon Harvey (below).
