The club soon after decided to approach the North Shore Albions club regarding a possible amalgamation. The two clubs met in early April in Devonport with John Henderson presiding before a large attendance. The chairman “explained that it was considered more advisable to have one strong club than two weak ones. A great deal of discussion centred around the name of the new club, and Mr. D.W. McLean and others strongly urged the retention of North Shore Albion, as it was the name of the first club to start the Northern Union game in New Zealand. Some of the members of Sunnyside Club opposed this proposal. Eventually it was decided to amalgamate and call the new club Devonport United. The following officers were elected:- Patron, the Mayor of Devonport, Mr. Horace Stephen Waterlow King; vice patrons, Messrs C. Court and W. Arnold; president, Mr. J. Henderson; vice-presidents, all the vice-presidents of both the defunct clubs; treasurer, Mr. G. Stewart; club captain, Mr. Sydney Wynyard; delegate to the Auckland Rugby League, Mr. William O'Shaughnessy; delegate to the Junior Advisory Board. Mr. D.T. Young; auditor, Mr. Robert Arthur Spinley; committee, Messrs’ C. Stone, George Seagar, Gordon Spraggon, C. Davis, J. Percival, H. Mann, W.A. Fowler, Stan Walters, G. Carnahan; secretary Mr. William O’Shaughnessy; assistant secretary; Mr. C.H. Bowyer. It was decided that the colours of the club should be green and white broad bands.
