Finality has now been reached in the negotiations between the Taranaki Cricket Association and the Victoria University College Club (Wellington) regarding a proposed match between the club and a Taranaki team at Christmas. Following upon a meeting of the -emergency executive of the association on Tuesday night, a proposal was made to the Wellington Club that they play a Taranaki B team at Hawera on the dates mentioned by them (December 26 and 27).
