NAPIER GAMES

To-morrow, Saturday, the long-wait-ed return match at Napier between M.B.O.B. and T.C.O.B. will be played on No. 1 ground commencing at 2.45 p.m. The resuit of this match has a very definite bearing on the championship resuit. To win this year's championship trophy, M.B.O.B. must defeat both T.C.O.B. and M.A.C. Should they fail in either game then M.A.C. will take the lead. • Foljowers of the game in Napier will to-morrow have the opportunity of witnessing what gives every promise of being the keenest club match in Napier this season. It should even overshadow the memorable first-round game between Marist and M.A.C. Both teams play attractive football and both are confident of success, so that the match will be pat-k-ed full of thrills from whistlo to whistle. On No. 2 ground, Pirates play Celtic and this also should provide exceilent football right up to standard.
