02 Oct Wrestling
The Basin Reserve was the finish line for 1931’s Palmerston North to Wellington cycling road race. With the first cyclists expected to arrive after 3.30pm, an athletic meeting was scheduled to entertain the crowds. Alongside the usual running and cycling events, the day’s programme also included amateur wrestling. With the majority of the outfield in use for the athletic sports, spectators watched the action in the ring from the boundary edge.
