MATCH FOR DARGAVILLE.

REVIVAL AT HAMILTON

The council of the New Zealand Rugby League last evening decided to set up a sub-committee with a view to the staging of a special match at Dargayille between an Auckland club team and a Northland club team. The president, Mr. Cyril Snedden, reported that, since the exhibition match recently staged by jtfarist Old Boys and a combined South Auckland team, the special committee established had accomplished good work and already a new club was formed. The prospects were for a new and strong League at Hamilton. Mr. John Quinlan, secretary of Eastern Suburbs Club (Sydney), wrote stating that the first team which won the minor premiership in the first and third grade and also the club championship . for the second year in succession, if beaten in the semi-final or final, had the right to play the winner ot the final for the premiership. In the event of winning the premiership, the club would play the champion country team (group 9) for the State championship. So there was a prospect that Eastern Suburbs 'would be Metropolitan premiers and State champions. [Note: Easts were defeated by Wests on August 29 by 10 points to B.] The English Rugby League acknowledged the invitation for its toilring team to visit New Zealand next year.
