Reaction

The Council's decision boomeranged when it was faced with a barrage of opposition from the local National Party, the rugby club and Junior Rapportryers.

Reaction to the decision was so severe that it threatened the continued existence of the 60-strong rugby club and brought a storm of protests from basketball and tenniquoit players.

The rugby club is reported to have appealed to the council to respect the feelings of most sportsmen who were opposed to other races making use of Coronation Park.
