Delegates from Wimbleton, Herbertville and Porangahnu of the recentlyformed Porangahau-East Ccast Rugby Sub-union, met at Porangahau on Satur- | day evening, when rules and conditions * were drawn up to be submitted to the Hawke’s Bay Rugby Union for approval. Mr George Hunter’s offer of a trophy for competition was accepted with thanks, also Mr A. P. Bishop’s and Kingi’s cups. It was decided to take part in the proposed Sub-union Shield, provided it was only a straight out go, the union being willing to travel to Dannevirke, Waipawa and Hastings, and play three games in one week. The following fixtures were drawn : May 20th—Wimbledon v. Herbertville, at Wimbledon.
