They will be sure to fight hard and a good game should ensure. Mr E. R. Marsh will be the referee. Claudelands Rovers will make a trip to Rotowaro, to tho mining team of that, township. The Rovers are stronger Ihts year, with Clark a notable addition to their defence, while Rutherford also will probably be assisting -the Rovers against his former team.
