The King Country team won this match against Wanganui 11 to 3. All Black great Colin Meads first played for King Country in 1955 at the age of 19, but we are not certain if he played in this game. Meads ended up playing 125 matches for King Country (as well as 132 matches for New Zealand!)

During the end of my time at Law Creative Group, Whakatane, I got the pleasure of working with some of the North Islands Iwi Trusts. One of whom was Maniapoto Iwi Trust, which I produced their fisheries report as well as the Annual Report. Below are some of the spreads from the report.
