Auckland Rugby League board over their suspension of Charles Savory, which the NZRL disagreed with. In April the Auckland Rugby League met and decided that they could not accept the reinstatement of W. Knox of the Sunnyside club as he had been disqualified by the New Zealand Rugby League. Knox had been part of the disqualified Auckland Rugby League board and had been the honorary secretary of the Referees' Association. The Sunnyside club had also applied to enter a team in the senior grade however at the same meeting the Auckland Rugby League held over a decision until their next meeting “to allow evidence to be brought forward regarding the calibre of the club’s players”. At the first meeting of the Junior Advisory Board on April 27, the Sunnyside delegate, William O'Shaughnessy motioned that “the rule of the Auckland Rugby League limiting the number of teams in the senior competition to six be rescinded” and the junior body decided to support this. The City Rovers delegate however moved at a meeting on May 6 that the six team limit should remain. The New Zealand Herald wrote that “this rule has been much discussed in league circles of late, and a certain section of players is very anxious to have it done away with. Sunnyside is the club which is particularly up in arms, as the rule has had the effect of debarring that club from playing first grade”. On May 9 Sunnyside held their last practice matches. Their fourth grade team played their North Shore Albions counterparts in poor conditions on the Devonport Domain. On the same day the Auckland Rugby League held a meeting where Sunnyside nominated a first junior team, along with other entries. Then on May 16 Sunnyside took the field officially for the first time. Their second grade side was drawn to play Northcote but defaulted the match and then withdrew from the competition. Their 3rd grade A team played Newton at Devonport Domain at 3pm, while their 3rd grade B team had a bye. Sunnyside's 4th grade side played North Shore at Devonport Domain, and as their match kicked off at 2pm they became the first ever Sunnyside team to play an official match. The two teams to take the field for the first time in the clubs history were: Third Grade A – Gordon Spraggon, W. Parker, L. Fraser, Philip Onslow Arthur Willetts, William
