RUGBY FOOTBALL

TO-MORROW’S MATCHES'. M ' To-i lorrow will find Woodville visiting Wostc 'n United at the Showgnounds, while Old Boys will journey to Feilding to re urn the opening round visit. On the e rlier occasion both tho home teams secure 1 victories —a position which might easily be reversed in tho present instance. Wood ille won through against Western in the closing stages, but the latter combinati' n, aided by the fact that they will be pi. ying on their own territory, should rnako a big bid to wrest the honours. The i latch will bo given added interest by tl e fact that the competing teams are 01 the same rung of tho championship 1 idder. Old Boys, who had a surprisini ly easy victory over Feilding in the p: ovious game, will be opposed by a consid rably strengthened fifteen, and a good leal of interest will bo centred in to-moi 'ow’s meeting. As curtain-raisers to th i local senior game, the High School Bunnythorpe and Kia Toa-Western Unitec matches will provide a fund of intereswhilo the Kia Toa-Western Unitec third grade fixture promises to be one oi the best seen in the lower grades this sc ison. No. 4 area will be the scene of the meeting of Feilding and Old Boys’ junior, tho teams taking the field at 3 p.ir ~ and in view of its important bearing on the championship, a big section c: the public will no doubt follow tho fc 'tunes of these teams.
