The South Auckland Association lias therefore arranged the following club fixtures for next Saturday;—Huntly Thistle v. Pukemiro Junction, Pukemiro v. Glen Massey, Hamilton Wanderers v. Claudelands Rovers, Huntly a bye. KING’S BIRTHDAY GAME Mr. J. Ball has been appointed referee of- the match between N.iZ. Navy and Auckland at Blandford Park on Monday..
