As South Canterbury could now p ovide a team of senior A grade status, it should have the opportunity of playing Canterbury A teams. As the Canterbury A team would have to fulfil another commitment in Dunedin, it was decided to ask the South Canterbury Association if the match could be played in Christchurch on August 11. It was reported that six clubs were still unfinancial, and after some discus-, sion it was agreed that if subscriptions were not paid before this Saturday the teams involved would be suspended.
