The departure for Auckland on transfer of one of the club’s leading players. Tom Atkins, was the subject of regretful comment in the clubhouse during the week-end. Atkins came to light in the past season’s major fixtures and is expected to develop first-class form with experience. He hopes to return to Awapuni for the 1949 open tournament.
