Women's Hockey Club.

Although the Club lost some of its prominent members at the end of last season, new players, including representatives from Manawatu, Wanganui and Gisborne, have ably filled the vacancies.

The Club has been most fortunate in securing the services of Mr. J C. Cusack as coach, so great things are to be expected of the "Green and Gold" this season. Two teams, a senior and a junior, were entered for the championship matches.

The Senior Team played its opening match against Ramblers (last year's champions) whom we defeated by three goals to one. The game was hard fought from start to finish, and many spectators watched the defeat of Ramblers, who had held the championship for the past three years. The goals were scored by Miss Carrick.

The following Saturday saw another victory for the "Greens," over Rambler B to the tune of 5 goals to one. It was a very one-sided game, played for the most part in the rain, so that neither side was sorry when the whistle sounded 'time!" All the goals were sent home in good style by Miss Dobbyn.

The third match against Girls' College was the match of the season—fast and furious right through. There were some anxious moments for both teams, but the excellent play of our backs kept our opponents well in check. Indeed every player in the team was out to win—which they eventually did by three goals to one. The scorers were Miss Dobbyn (1), Miss Carrick (2). At present University is in the lead, and let us hope it will keep there.

Our Juniors have not been quite so successful as the Seniors, but the season is young and there is plenty of time for their luck to come. The first match, which was played against Girls' College, was very even right through. It was only a few minutes off the call of time when College netted the only and winning goal.

The next match was played against Te Aro School. At half time honours were even one goal each. Then the School players got busy and registered a second goal in their favour. There was no further score, the game ending in a win for Te Aro School by two goals to one. Miss Creagh scored the goal for 'Varsity.
