The senior team was always well represented in representation teams, and the club captain, Mr W. {Shannon, captained the rep. team throughout the season.

During the season the club had lost two prominent players, namely. J. W. F. Halcotne and A. L. Parr, both of whom had gone to America. A matter of importance to the club was that of a new ground. With his usual kindness Mr F. Lethbridge offered a sufficiently large and well situated piece of his ground for playing op and further supplemented the offer by offering to plough the land sow the seed and supply the pipes, providing the club fenced the ground, found the seed and labor for putting in the pipes. This offer was accepted and lists are now out for raisinp the necessary funds. The senior players are desirous of having a trip at the commencement of the season, and one has practically been arranged. The clubs to be played being Wellington, Greytowu and Red Stars (Masterton). Detailed arrangements in the matter of picking the team only remain to be completed.
