TOMORROW'S RUGBY

GOOD GAMES LIKELY FINE TEAMS TO MEET d A ' The Whakatane Rugby Union provides good football games to-mcr-row, given line weather, the s season's biggest crowd should be out on the Domain to see Paroa and ' Whakatane and Star and Old Boys 0 clash. In their fiiv;t meeting Paroa beat Whakatane by 24 to 6, but CUy hopes to field a strong team and by beating the leaders, show the public * that they can s'till play good foot. ball. Paroa is confident of victory, j The last Old Bovs-Star game provided brilliant football. This is a hackneyed expression, but competent s judges who saw, the match agree that it was the best exhibition of Rugby given for several years. It ended in Star's favour by 11 points to 8 and Old Boys are anxious for revenge. Other games include Reserves v Paroa, Taneatua v Waimana at Taneat ua, and Ruatoki v Poroporo. at Ruatoki.
