RUGBY FOOTBALL

TO-MORROW'S PROGRAMME. The resumption of tli© inter-club competitions to-morrow, following the break owing to the Show, will find Kia Toa and Western-United seniors trying conclusions for the second time this season, while Feilding will visit Woodvdle. At their previous meeting Western brought off a surprise victory over the blues by 11 points to six and, as the red and blacks continue to display very fair form, there is every indication that another battle royal will result. As a curtain-raiser to the senior clash, High School and Western-United-will meet in the junior grade and a highly interesting game should eventuate for, while both teams have suffered misfortune in the earlier matches, they both adopt the fast, open style of play which is a delight to witness. The other grade matches set down for decision at the Showgrounds also contain a fund of interest, the whole going to form a programme of more than average interest. THE TEAMS.
