Athol O’Connor Shield battle

On Tuesday Gisborne Bowling Club hosted the annual battle for the Athol O’Connor Shield between our two Intermediate schools, Gisborne and Ilminster. The Gisborne kids are coached each week at Gisborne Bowling Club and those from Ilminster at Kahutia Bowling Club. Needless to say, the rivalry runs deep. After a hard-fought battle in the sun, Ilminster retained the shield.
