Congratulations to Alison Stewart of the Senior B team who has been selected to travel to Christchurch with the Rep. Team; and to Marie Walker who is one of the nineteen from whom the Senior A Reps, are to be chosen.

Varsity Senior A upset several forecasts in the Tournament played under International Rules last Saturday. With one round still to play, the University seven are equal with Kia Ora, both teams having suffered only one defeat. Despite unfamiliarity with the rules, our girls appeared to adapt themselves admirably; or was the rain the cause? The accurate shooting of Joy Osborne helped. It is only to be hoped that the team will continue the good work in the final round.

The Senior B team suffered defeat from Training College. This was disappointing, in view of their recent improvement. Unfortunately, there still seems to be difficulty in getting the ball into the goal third.

The Third Grade team is more settled at last, holidays and illness having been serious handicaps and it is indeed pleasing to see that they are playing more up to standard now.
