KATIKATI CLUB, It speaks well for the Katikati Club when three members, J. and C. Walford and L. Lysaght, of the club, were selected to play this season in the Thames Valley representative matches. Two other members, C. Hume and A. Snodgrass, were selected to play in the trial match from which the representatives were selected, but were unable to attend and in consequence were precluded from the final selection.
