It was decided to award a special trophy to the team scoring most championship points in the second round of the senior grade A competition. It was agreed to extend the nominations for both senior A and B grades until next Wednesday. A request from the junior management committee for an alteration to the constitution of the. rules of the judicial committee dealing with a player being ordered off the field was declined. It was decided to open the season on April 27.
