The game was progressing favourably in Ashburton, but the Board felt that it was not getting the support that it should from South Canterbury. He had no knowledge of an Ashburton team plaving in the competitions here, but it was more with the idea of obtaining friendly games in Ashburton. The chairman pointed out luat it might be possible to send a team, comprised of players from the various clubs, to Ashburton. If there was any possibility of a team being sent, they 6hould give the matter every consideration.
