To-morrow’s Rugby

The Rugby programme for this week is a most interesting and attractive one, and provides the public with two very good senior matches on the Oval. The star attraction at 3 p.m. is the St. Pat’s-Kia Toa match and a real treat is promised in this game. Last week tho greens accounted for the Palmerston North Old Boys in a very fast game, while the Kia Toas gained the day against tho Feilding Club, so this week we have the two victorious teams meeting and a ding-dong go it will be. Already this season these teams have met twice and have been credited with a win each so this Saturday being the last meeting of the two for tho season will find a most strenuous game to see who can gain the honours and it will air i decide which will be runners-up to Feilding Old Boys in the Goldfinch and Cousins Cup, providing, of course, that the Peilding Old Boys are not beaten by the Peilding Club this week. The last two meetings of St. Pat’s and Kia Toa were thrilling and exciting games to watch with the issue in doubt right up to the last whistle and this Saturday again promises to bo just as exciting as tho last two meetings. St. Pat’s have .played very good football this season for a promoted junior team and are quite capable of extending the very best. The curtain-raiser at 1.30 p.m. will be the senior combinations of Old Boys and United and with two such evenly matched teams opposing, the public are bound to witness some spectacular football. Although both teams met defeat last week they were by no means disgraced and according to ail reports were very unlucky teams to lose. On the back arena tho semi-final of the junior sudden death competition will be played and the opposing teams will be Old Boys and Batteries on No. 4 at 3 p.m. and Kia Toa-Bunnythorpe on the same ground at 1.30 p.m. At Peilding the public will witness a very interesting game when the Feilding Old Boys meet the Feilding Club and the amber and blacks are quite confident that they can pull it oil this time against the greens. So something most exciting is promised tho Feilding followers of Rugby. teams for to-morrow United. Seniors v.
