RUGBY LEAGUE.

ROOPE ROOSTER CONTPETITIO

NEWTON PLAY MARIST.

To-morrow at Carlaw Park the Roope Rooster competition will commence, when Newton, the club champions, will meet Marist. If the underfoot conditions are suitable, a bright and open exposition of the code may be expected, as strong sides will be fielded, and in the case of Marist at least one new player of promise is expected to make his debut in the code. Richmond are drawn to play City on the No. 2 ground at the park, while Ponsonby and Grafton Athletic will meet at Victoria Park. The curtain-raiser at Carlaw Park will be a match for the 6B grade championship, between Marist and Richmond. The two teams are splendidly matched, and this season have been giving the 'best exhibitions of the League game in Auckland. Many of the League patrons are keenly anticipating the junior fixture, which is expected to be one of the best games that has been staged this season. Teams:— POXSONBY UNITED.
