ISLAND MATCH
S.I. League Team (By Our Rugby League Reporter.) GREYMOUTH, July 4. The inclusion of the 18-year-old Canterbury hooker, W. P. Noonan, and the exclusion of C. L. McMaster (West Coast), are the surprise selections in the South Island Rugby league team to play North Island at Greymouth on July 18. It was thought the main candidates for the hooking position would be F. Kennedy (West Coast), who is a reserve, and J. H. Fisher (Canterbury). M. H. Mohi (Canterbury) has been preferred to McMaster.
