In a sparkling game on Saturday afternoon the Taipan's XV nar- rowly overcame the CBF's XV by 11 points (1 goal, 2 tries) to 8 points (1 goal, 1 try) to win the Mansergh Trophy which was presented to Kerr, captain of the winning fifteen, by Lieut.-General Stratton.

This was indeed one of these games which was worth walling for despite the cold and the icy wind for the fortunes of the game swayed back and forth as first one side and then the other took the lead.
