St Andrews College and Christchurch’s Scottish Society emerged the victors in the contested competitions at the annual Christchurch Casino Highland Day, held at the picuresque Ilam Homestead at the University of Canterbury. The day started cool but warmed up significantly. In the solos, Robert Oliver from Auckland won the A Grade Side Drumming and Mason Lee from Dunedin won the Open Bass Drumming. Canterbury Caledonian and ILT City of Invercargil were both uncontested in their respective grades.
