GROUND OFFICIALLY OPENED, At Napier on the King's Birthday there •was a large attendance at the official opening of League Park by the patron of the Hawke's Bay Rugby League, Mr. W. E. Barnard, M.P., who congratulated the management and supporters on their enterprise. The speaker took the opportunity to deal with the history of football, and concluded by hoping the new ground at Napier would be a home of clean sport arid* good fellowship. Much interest was centred on the annual Town and Country match, won by the former by. 19—6. Country won the junior contest 3—o, and the Napier A and B teams battled to an exciting draw. Both new playing areas were used, and the gate takings were devoted to' the St. John Ambulance Association.
