The proceeds from this tournament will be divided among the local clubs. ASSOCIATION SEASON OPENS TO-DAY. The Association football season will open this afternoon, when the first round of the Fletcher Cup Competition will be played. The majority of the clubs are quite up to last year’s standard, and in view of big events ahead the teams have put in solid practice, so that the public can be assured of some keen games. The old opponents, Northern and Mornington, will meet on the latter’s ground. The other town game, between Technical an if Maori Hill, at Prospect Park, will no doubt prove an attraction to many followers of the code. The remainng matches —Port v. Seacliff, at Seacliff, and High School Old Boys v. Mosgiel, at Mosgiel—should provide keen games for local supporters of the code in the two districts.
