Women'S Hockey Club

The Women's Hockey Club has not fulfilled the promise which was shown at the beginning of the season. Two teams were entered in the local competitions, one in Senior A Grade, and one in the Junior. The Junior team suffered a gradual falling-off of members, and eventually was forced to default for the remainder of the season. This was most unfortunate, as there were some keen and promising players now probably lost to the game who, with coaching and experience, gained as Juniors, would next year have been promoted to Senior status.

It was apparent after the first game that the Senior team had been placed in too high a grade, for some of the players had only started the game this season. However, there is no reason why, with the experience gained this year, that next season a team composed of keen and enthusiastic players who will attend practices regularly should not avenge the defeats olf the past.

The thanks of the club are due to Mr. G. Shaw and Mr. M. Christie, both of whom have shown a great interest in the team, and by helpful advice and criticism at practices have greatly assisted players. A team was sent to the annual Tournament held at Dunedin, and although it suffered defeat everybody enjoyed the trip and gained valuable experience.

The congratulations of the club are extended to Miss J. Bacon, who was selected as emergency for the University team which played Otago.
