Owing to the fact that the date was not suitable to several of the schools it has been decided that it will not be advisable to hold the secondary schools seven-a-side tournament which was mooted for next Wednesday. In eonsequence the eleventh round of matches will then be played in the light-weight section of the competition, whilst the opportunity will, no doubt, be taken to get off the various open grade matches which were held over from the tenth round (played yesterday).
