TOMORROW'S DRAW
There is always a good.deal of interest in performances of teams which are promoted to the top division of local Rugby, and it so happens that the draw for the start of the second round tomorrow provides for the unbeaten divisional leading teams opposing each other. This test of strength and ability is set down to be decided at Athletic Park, and it should be an event well worth while, as Johnsonville have put up a really fine performance in the second division, leaving no doubt as to their claim to participate in the battle for the main title. In Athletic (unbeaten top division leaders in the first round) the promoted suburban team will find a force of no mean calibre, a combination well served back and forward. Athletic, of course, will not view the opposition lightly; in fact, experience has shown that Johnsonville on their day can foot it with the best of teams. The match should reveal some stirring play by the forwards and much fast, open play by the backs. Preceding it there will be a fourth grade match between the Hutt A and the Technical College Old Boys' teams.
