Friday At the adjourned annual meeting of the Piako Cricket Association, it was decided to apply to the South Auckland Association for affiliation as the Matamnta District Cricket Association. The Piako Association has control of a wide area, including Matnninta. Morrinsville, Te Aroha and Putaruru districts, and the opinion is held that tlie area is too unwieldy for control by one body. In the event of the application being granted, it is expected that the Piako Association will be resuscitated to include To Aroha and Morrinsville. Messrs. F. Montague, J. R. Whelan and G. G. Griffiths were appointed ns selection committee to select the team to play agninst the M.C.C. team when they visit Matamata. It was decided that the standard sJoz. ball should be used by all clubs during the coming season.
