RUGBY FOOTBALL.

CHAMPIONSHIP CHALLENGE.

TEAMS FOR TO-MORROW.

The Rugby attractions for to-morrow are the championship challenge match between Ponsonby and North Shore (the champions in their respective divisions), and two Pollard Cup games. These will be played at the Showground. North Shore, since -winning the B Division champions-hip, have been keeping in regular training with a view to challenging Ponsonby, the A Division champions, and they have hopes of being able to beat the bigger brothers of the seniors. Both teams play an attractive style of football, and the game should be a good one. Marist Old Boys, the I leaders in the Pollard Cup competition, will meet College Rifles, and Grammar Old Boys are down to play Manukau. Teams: — NORTH SHORE.
