The outstanding feature here is the appearance of two members of the 1968 Olympic team for Mexico.

They are Selwyn Maister and Jan Borren, both members of the Canterbury team.

A. Borren (brother of Jan) also in the Canterbury team, is a current Canterbury rep as well.

Canterbury, who have won the tournament for the past 2 years will be the team to beat.

Vic's men's team has had an extremely good season locally and is at present top of the McNaught Cup championship with a one point lead from WCOB.

The tournament team comprises: P. Maria, G. Kirkham, C. Kirkham, R. Gray, K. Purchase (capt.), J. Scott, P. Morgan, D Price, P. Dentice, J. Matthews, G. Jackson, T. Broadmore, D. Starke.

Several members have made various Wellington represen-Purchase (Wellington A); R. tative sides this season—K. Gray, D. Price, P. Morgan, P. Denhie, G. Kirkham (Senior Reserve); J. Scott (capt.), J. Matthews (Wellington Colts).

Vic finished second behind Canterbury at Dunedin last year and should finish well.

On Thursday 15 August, up on the final points table, the NZU team will play Wellington.

Venue: Karori Park.

Women

The team finished third at Tournament last year. Otago are excepted to dominate again.

On paper the team should perform as well as last year if not a little belter as it has the advantage of knowing the home ground.

Members of the team are: Loraine Spence, Janette McKay (capt.), Jill Broad, Sue Lavin, Caroline Auret, Anne Rich, Alison McNeil-Adams, Margaret Henderson, Betty Wadnam, Maureen Wenman, Sandra McColl.

A 'B' team is also participating to make up the draw.

It comprises: Peta Campbell, Moana Herewini, Tili Peseta, Alice Taylor, Barbara Kirkus, Anne Mortimer, Claire Johnstone, Sue Boulton, Ruth Symes, Helen Tye, Leslie O'Cairn, Anne Kerr.

Otago's dominance of the last three Tournaments will be strongly challenged this year by Auckland who have several provincial cup reps in C. Ringer, L. Carruthers, E. Inia and C. Moore.

Six of the Vic team participated in the provincial trials with one member, A. McNeill-Adams being selected for the Wellington team.

Venue: Karori Park.
