CHALLENGE MATCH AT MANALA
The Waimate Maoris have received a challenge hor the Katana Junior Clip from the Katana Maoris and the contest will be held at the Manaia Domain next Wednesday. This much, which is to be the final game of the season, is of particular interest as the donor of the cup, Mr. W. T. Katana, will be present as a spectator and the team from his village will endeavour to carry back the trophy. So far the Waimate team has been unbeaten since they won the trophy from Waitotara. last year. Among the teams which have gone down before them are Porirua, Awahuri. Tainui, Wellington and Taihape. That the challengers will have a hard task before them goes without saying. The Waimate team is said to be in good form and a good exhibition of the code is certain. The kickoff is timed for 1.30. In the evening a dance will be held in the Manaia Town Hall, where the visiting team will be entertained
