In a move to have more boys playing than watching, which is normally the case with inter-school outings, the annual contest with King’s High now features as many games between as many teams as possible.

Scheduled for the last day of term, the 80/20 rule was reversed today. Instead of 80 percent watching, that ratio played – and, under cloudless skies, it was a good day for Otago Boys’.
