To-morrows Rugby Attractions

This Saturday patrons are again provided with tlireo senior matches at the Showgrounds, and the first of these, played on the oval at 1.30 p.m., will be between Old Boys and Bongotca. The latter team has indeed improved, as witness its defeat of Woodvill'e on tho Woodville ground, which speaks volumes for itself. Old Boys can always be depended upon to give a good display, and their match against Bongotea should be a good one. Following on the oval at 3 p.m., the popular Feilding Old Boys will meet Kia Toa. At the first meeting of these two teams the Magpies only managed to emerge victorious over the Double Blues by the narrowest of margins, after an excellent match. Kia Toa, however, will be right out to make amends, and the match should be one of the best. The third senior match on the Showgrounds will be staged at 3 p.m. on No. 2 ground, when Woodville will' play their return match with Massey College, and this will certainly be ivorth witnessing.

To-morrow will lind a senior match on tho Park road grounds, when St Pat.’s and United meet on No. 1 ground at 3 p.m., and patrons will have to pay 6d.
