Furthermore, the Wairarapa Referees’ Association decided to communicate with all outside referees’ associations. asking for support in the stand it had taken up, and not to officiate in any ordinary representative match in Wairarapa. In the interests of football in Wairarapa. the loca’ Referees’ Association decided to carr> on and act at the usual weekly inter club contests.
