In the inter-club competition there was the. possibility of> the. Kaiheiea,nd Kopuarahi .teamsr securing the same number of points. This would if .the Kaihere team secured two two-point wins, or .two wins by default from the Waitakaruru team. Owing to the falling off in enthusiasm among members c£, the Waitakaiuru club there was a big ch a,nee of Kaihere winning the cup if the matches were played. The Kaihere delegates therefore suggested that a two-inningp match be played between Kaihere and Kopuarahi to decide the winner of the cup. One inningsi would be played at each place, the dates to be mutually arranged. The offer was characterised as a sporting one, and it was decided that in the event of a draw the arrangement would sta,nd. • The meeting closed with a vote of thanks .to Mr Gribble for the use dfi his room'as a meeting pla!ee.
