ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.

ATTRACTIONS POR TO-MORROW. TWO GAMES AT BLANDFORD PARK. The A.F.A. will stage the second series of games in the senior competitions tomorrow, while all junior grades will open the season in earnest. In the senior grade the principal attractions are at Blandford Park, where Tramways and Northcote provide the opening match. The Northcote side "recorded a creditable performance last week, when they drew with Ponsonby on the Domain, and with improvements effected in the team, are likely to give the strong-going Corporation combination a stiff struggle. A lively encounter is sure to be' the outcome of the meeting of Pohsonby and Thistle, which takes place on Blandford Park in the latter portion of tho afternoon. Thistle will be minus Buchanan, injured last week, and Bell has now definitely severed his connection with the club, having signed for North Shore. Nevertheless, the Scots will field capable substitutes, and an evenly contested game will be the outcome. North Shore will formally open their gTound for the season, when V.M.C.A. will be their guests. The latter is a greatly improved side this season and will not easily be disposed of. Bell will make his appearance for the Shore at centre forward, while Hankins will deputise for Mitchell, .who was injured last week. Teams:— PONSONBY. -.Seriiors.-—L Hall, M. Williams, A. Whowell, J.
