The team will leave Feilding at 9 a.m. A suggestion has been made that a team picked from the Pirates and Kea Kahau play matches with a team chosen from the Feilding and Marton Clubs, the proceeds to be devoted to the Manawatu Union. The first match could be played at Palmerston, and the second at Feilding. The idea is a very good one, and the Union should at once try to . arrange matches. Mr A. J. Weeks will referee in the Pirate-Feilding match on Saturday. It in probable that the Taranaki reps, will play the Manawatu reps, during the third week in July. The date has not yet been fixed.
