A meeting of the New Zealand Hockey Association agreed to play shield matches against Auckland in the following order: Nelson, Hawke’s Bay, Manawtu, Wangaui, and Canterbury, and write to Auckland and Nelson, suggesting the first match be played not later than July 3. Challenges were received from Thames and Poverty Bay against Waikato, who hold the NOl-den Cup, were fixed in that order, the first match to be played on July 10.
