Eden Ramblers
They were based in the Avondale suburb of Auckland where they largely trained and played and held meetings in Point Chevalier.
On 11 April the New Zealand Herald reported that there was "every probability of a club forming in Avondale" and the league would send officials on the night of the 12th to meet with interested parties.
Cummings moved, and Bob Noone seconded "that a club be formed to play under Northern Union rules, to affiliate with the Auckland Provincial Rugby League".
It was said that they would be made up of players representing the Avondale, Point Chevalier, and Mount Albert districts.

They had already begun to organise a practice match at Victoria Park with the Ponsonby United club.
