In the women’s A grade, eight teams have applied for inclusion Six are required but only three teams, Mairehau A, which won last season, Checkers and Mairehau B, will not have to take part in the grading games. Y.M.C.A.Rebels, Rangiora, Burnside, University, and United are the others seeking A grade status.

Seven entries have been received for the men’s A grade—Y.M.C.A., High School Old Boys, Checkers, Mairehau, University, Burnside, and Aranui. Burnside and Aranui will play oft for the final placing.
