WIND-UP OF SEASON At a meeting of the association this week, the position regarding the senior championship was considered. Old Boys, who have finished all their games, had 17 points, while College with a game to go again si United were 14 points. The two were certain to finish level, necessitating a play-off, but with Easter intervening, it was almost an impossibility to complete a play-oil. and in all the circumstances the Association decided to bracket the two teams as joint winners. To-morrow as a wind-up for the season (weather permitting) a team of. Old Boys and Athletics will play College on the College ground. At present the weather is favourable, and a line wicket should be available so that a most interesting game should result. Following will play against College: Blamires, Betts, Blincoe, McKellar, Neale, Roberts, Weblev, Louisson, Hull, Mitchell, Kinzett, Cole.
