Gibb had the honour of representing the combined sub-unions in the annual match against the Otago sub-unions and he was also selected as an emergency for Southland. To these players the committee extends congratulations and hopes they will be prominent again this season. “A pleasing feature last season was the enthusiasm displayed by the juniors. Practically all their engagements were fulfilled and included in their ranks were some promising young players. The following were selected for representative games: R. Herriot, L. Pearce, N. Thomson and G. Gatley. We wish also to compliment these young members.
