DG Stotter scored 1 five in the Auckland Grammar School first innings
Heavy overnight rain resulted in the pitch used on the first day being under water and unfit for play on the second day
After discussions between the teams and the umpires it was decided to resume the match on another pitch that the groundsman had started to prepare for a match the following week with play commencing at 3.55pm after the groundsman had rolled the pitch and prepared the ground
GHG Hobbs and JH Pickles added 86 for the tenth wicket in the Christchurch Boys High School first innings
Christchurch Boys High School retained the Heathcote Williams Shield
