Shield Basketball
The annual tournament for the Kathleen Henderson & Patsy Burke shields saw both trophies leave the district. Paroa (Whakatane) won the former, and Greendale (Napier) won the latter.
Runners-up were Paikea (Gisborne) and Te Karaka.
Incidents in the Greendale-Te Karaka game. On their way home in the railcar, three of the Greendale girls were injured when a boulder struck the railcar at Beach Loop.
The victorious Paroa team from Whakatane. Whakatane teams now hold both premier Gisborne trophies.
