Bluff beat Star in thrilling game in Invercargill rugby game 1940

Hi, Yacck, was just reading the articles about Marist winning the Galbraith Shield in 2001.  I had these newspaper clippings and thought your readers might be interested.

It is 1940 and a enthralling game between Bluff and Star which was a great spectacle for the crowd.  Bluff showed great courage and came out the victors 15-13.  It was exciting for the Bluff supporters knowing that they were going to enjoy a bright season.
