The football team. of Public Works Recreation Club, who are making their debut in the Third Division this sea- son, have not yet had much opportun- ity for practising, but, with friendly inter-departmental games now in pro- gress, the committee are hoping to be able to field a good side.
There are a number of useful play- ers in the Department who have been regular playing members. of other Clubs for many years, and the Com- mittee are not desirous of interfering with any arrangements these players have already made and are concen- trating on new talent, for their team this season.
The team will, for the most part, be composed of local,boys, but it is understood that B. Bailey will be turning out for them, in goal, while G. T. Gilchrist, the Club player, has also consented to play for them on his return from Home leave. R. B. Wood, the cricketer, will also be play- ing when not occupied with cricket.
