TAINUI v. WHANGAMOMONA. Very keen interest is being taken by supporters of both sub-unions in the match that has been arranged to fake place at Stratford to-morrow between Tainui and Whangamomona. The game between these teams last year proved full of interest, and to-morrow’s game promises to be even more interesting, as both teams are considerably improved this year, both as regards individual players and combination. Each will have plenty of-supporters, as a special train will take practically every resident from out east into the central Taranaki town, whilst many cars from the Tainui district will take their quota. There should also be a good muster from Central Taranaki. The Tainui team is as follows: — J. Lake Reid C. Hepburn •W. Caulion Richards Rattenbury Tawhaki Hooper R. Lake Henderson O’Sullivan Eketone Mcßeady Armstrong Waho Emergencies: Taylor, H. O'Donnell.
