 At a pre-season meeting of the management committee it was discussed that Carlaw Park needed more ‘modern equipment’, and it was decided that “the establishment of more modern methods of dealing with the turf and the purchase of more efficient machinery shall be an early charge on the new season's funds”.Sufficient money was made from gates at club and rep fixtures at Carlaw Park and the Auckland Domain to begin improvements on the ground at the conclusion of the season.The Auckland Rugby League accepted a new club into the fold, named Central Mangere.
