Hard Play in Hockey

Hard Play in Hockey

Otago's win in this sphere of the Tournament was their fourth in succession.

The disadvantage of playing two hard games within a few hours of each other proved to be too great for the O.U. team when they played the Australian Universities team to lose 6-3. This game was one of the Tournament highlights.

The Otago provincial women's hockey team had a good 3-0 win over N.Z.U. The half-time score was 2-0. N.Z.U. shaped well in the forwards but play though open and fast tended to become scrappy.

In the first half the strong attacking by the N.Z.U. forwards was held up by a determined Otago defence. In the second half Otago were playing back strongly and N.Z.U. seldom got near their opponents' goal.
