The Final round of the Canterbury Central Shield Interclub competition was held at Weedons on 21 April in fine conditions and the course in great order.
As has been the case throughout the competition it was always going to be a tight finish, with just six points covering the six teams in the competition at the end of round-robin play.
Last year's Champions Ellesmere did everything they could to try and go back-to-back, defeating Greendale / Burnham 6-0 in their final match to finish second, however the Lincoln team of Mike Boshoff, Sam Ballantyne, Richard Weaver and Dave Shannon held their nerve in a very close match defeating Weedons Red 4-2 to take the title.
In the other match of the day Weedons Black defeated Hororata 3.5-2.5.
The Grant Lethaby Trophy was won by Ellesmere's Mike Berry who remained unbeaten throughout the competition with a perfect 5-from-5 record.
