Long before the lawn bowls season was even due to terminate local football clubs commenced preparations for the opening of the local programme, which starts during the coming week-end with a full list of matches in all three divisions of the League, and which will hold the undivided attention of a large majority of local sporting fans for the next five and a half months, during which time the usual annual competitions will be decided for various cups and shields which are up for competition.

There has been considerable activity among local clubs to get their players into form before the opening matches and friendly fixtures have been in progress now for some weeks, while, prior to the arrangement of these contests, players had been indulging in constant practice among themselves as a preliminary to the more serious pursuit of their favourite winter pastime.
