PLUNKET SHIELD CRICKET.
AMENDMENT OF RULES URGED. WELLINGTON, October 7. Delegates of minor cricket associations in the Wellington Plunket Shield area conferred to-night with members of the management committee of the Wellington Cricket Association. The principal business was consideration of a Manawatu proposal that a fifth Plunket Shield district should be formed. After a lengthy discussion, the following motion, moved by Mr. A. M. Ongley (Manawatu), seconded by Mr. T. C. Lowry (Rangitikei) was carried “that the rules of the Plunket Shield competition be amended so as to permit (a) the inclusion of a fifth team, representative of minor associations of the Wellington district or any other minor associations; (b) a reduction of matches from four playing days to three playing days; (?) that each team should play only three matches per season.” A motion was also passed requesting minor associations to consider a scheme for interchanges of visits. It was announced that the Town v. Country match would be played at Wellington on December 18 and 19.— (P.A.)
