COMBINED CRICKET TEAMS

APPLEBY AND RAILWAY The suggestion that the Appleby and Railway clubs should combine to enter teams for the Southland Cricket Association’s competitions this season has been adopted. Officials of the two clubs have agreed, it is understood, to enter combined senior, junior and third grade teams. The arrangement will be submitted for confirmation at a meeting of Appleby club members on Thursday evening, but no hitch is expected. There will thus be six teams in the senior competition, Old Boys, Marist, Invercargill, Union, Applcby-Railway and Bluff. Entries for the various grades will be received and arrangements for the season made at a meeting of the management committee of the association this evening. One of the subjects to be discussed is the question of home-and-home matches with Otago this season. Another will be that of holding competition games on October 25, Labour Day week-end. In the past if has been the practice to postpone the competitions on this Saturday, but it is understood that this year there is a considerable body of . opinion in favour of the games being played. It is thought that because of the petrol restrictions not so many players as usual will be going away for the holiday, and it has also been pointed out that no cricket matches may be played on November 8, when a national fitness rally is to be held at Rugby Park. To ensure the success of the rally its promoters are anxious that various sports bodies should postpone their competition games on that day.
