CENTR.' USING REP. MATCHES,
SHANNON CLUB’S PROTEST,
The decision of the Management Committee of the Horowhenua Rugby Union to play all representative matches in Levin has aroused a great deal of feeling in Rugby circles outside Levin and meetings of protest have been held both in Shannon and Foxton.
A special meeting of the Shannon Football Club was held on Saturday evening to protest against the Rugby Union’s action. After discussion the following resolution was passed:—“That the Shannon Club take strong exception to the misleading and utterly erroneous statements made by Mr Procter, at the last Horowhenua Rugby Union meeting re representative matches held during the last two years in stating that the rep. matches held in Shannon were not a success financially or otherwise. As Shannon holds the record gate for rep. matches we hereby challenge the chairman to produce in the public press the net financial proceeds of all rep. games played during the last two years, also to please explain the statement.”
