The presence at the meeting of one or two new faces to football was welcomed.
Are the Clubs going to show the same apathy at the big meeting on June 281 And are the pre dictions forecast in there columns that the whole of the management of local football is again to be left to the one or two live wires interested, ilkely to be realised?
If so, the Clubs-have no excuse for future récrimination, either by their Hon. Secretaries, or repre- sentatives in the Preas or to the Council.
