The main Senior attraction at 2.45 p.m. will be the challenge match for the John Pile Memorial Cup between Tikirau (Apanui Sub-Union . Senior Champions) challengers and Paroa (Whakatane Champions) holders. This is the first challenge match for this magnificent cup which was presented to the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union by the Hohapata Family of Paroa, Whakatane,. in memory of the late Lt. J.
