Helensville, Waimauku. and Kaukapakapa teams were entered for the cup competition, for which it was arranged that three rounds be played. Tie opening matches take place on Saturday, May 17, when Parakai plays Waimauku and Kaukapakapa meets Helensville. . „ The proposed " country week in Auckland was under discussion, and the union, although not receiving financial assistance like the - unions further north, hopes to take part in the fixtures.
