The secretary reported that five clubs had become affiliated to the association, and as applications might be received up till April 20 it was hoped that other clubs would join and take part in the Wednesday competition. It was mentioned that Diamonds would .pfobably enter a Wednesday team. In a discussion upon the rules, it was pointed out that provision/ was made only for Wednesday players taking part in Saturday matches, whereas the rules did not say that Saturday players might join AVcdnesday teams.

It was resolved that not more than two Saturday players bo allowed to be represented in any one Wednesday team..
