Women's Hockey Club

The present season has been most successful for the Club. So far no team is at the bottom of its grade, and there does not appear to be much chance of them achieving this distinction, nor have they been involved in any fights. All the teams are in a better position as regards championship points than they have been for many years; in fact, it is the first time in the history of the Junior A team that it has gained more than two points (one game by default) in the season.

Up to the present the Senior team has won 4, drawn 1 and lost 4 matches. The Junior A has won 4 and lost 5, and the Junior B has won 2, drawn 5 and lost 4 matches.

The tournament has been reviewed at length in "Smad," and it is sufficient here to say that, socially, it was a great success for all and a great success as a hockey tournament for Otago.

We have to congratulate Miss Spence-Sales on winning her N.Z.U. Blue.

The Committee hopes that next year at least four teams will be entered; in fact, it is optimistic enough to hope for a Senior B team—a thing which the Club has never had before.

It has been very pleasing to see the increase in the numbers attending practices during the week, as this is the only way in which any improvement in the game can be obtained.

Everyone is urged to join the Club next season, regardless of whether she can play, or not. It is never too late to learn—anyway, enough to play in the Club teams, which always start the game with a firm conviction that they will be well beaten.
