League: Southern zone gets board

The New Zealand Rugby League yesterday named the five directors for the second of seven new zones created to administer the game at regional level.

Following confirmation of the Auckland directors last month, NZRL chairman Scott Carter announced that Southland's Rex Capil would chair the southern zone board.

The other directors are John Brimble, of Otago, and Canterbury's Carolyn Harkess, Reon Edwards and Craig McGuigan. The zone comprises the district leagues of Tasman, West Coast, Canterbury, Otago and Southland.
