Critical stage
The race for places in the senior rugby championship proper will reach a critical stage today. The penultimate round of matches in the C.S.B. Cup competition will be played on six Christchurch grounds, with five teams assured of winning places in the top eight. Marist, University A, Belfast, New Brighton and Old Boys will all go forward to contest the championship, for the C.S.B. trophy, but
there will be a scramble for the remaining three places. Six other teams are in competition for these positions, and four of them are in opposition today; Shirley against Albion, and Lincoln College against Linwood. Burnside, currently lying sixth, has to face the second placed University A, and Christchurch, which still nurses a slim hope, is drawn against the leading team, Marist.
