The rapart, which was presented by the Secretary stated:

The accounts in spite of rather heavy expenditure on account re- turfing upkeep of the ground at King's Park are quite satisfactory and show a credit balance of 8468.48.

There is been a lot of changes in the T.R.C. side this year.

As regardi Mrs Donnelan, this lady player covers her path,
