Women's

The 1956 team this year will consist of mainly ex-secondary school and junior grade representatives who will be playing in their first winter tournament Those who have gained first year honours are: Rae Goodwin, an ex OU Crepresentative, 1954-55. Joan Burnett, who was a Manawatu junior rep. in 1964. Mary Lyons, who was in the Varsity B team last year. Natalie Griffin, Betsy Andrews, Barbara Saunders and Sally Gentry have all represented Wellington secondary schools. These players are all newcomers who have shown great improvement and should be playing good hockey by tournament.

The more experienced players are: Captain, Cherry Pointon, the Vice-captain Ruth Kingsford. Judith Orwin the Club Contain, and Goalie Anne McIlraith, all of whom have played senior representative hockey. These players are the stronghold of the team and under their guidance the more inexperienced players should hold their own against strong opposition.

The two reserves this years are:—Jane Buckley and Margaret Matthewson, who will be new-comers, and the experience they will gain at the tournament should prove most valuable for following years.
