Women's Hockey Club

The past season has been quite a successful one for the Women's Hockey Club. With great optimism, and faith in the 'Varsity hockey players, we entered three teams in the competitions. The Junior B team—the beginners—finished the season third in its grade, and had it not been made to suffer for the delinquencies of the Junior A team, would have been second. The Junior A team, which, on paper, should have been at least in the first half of its grade, did not settle down to play its best hockey until the last few games of the season, when it brought off its only wins. With the Seniors the trouble seemed to be that they were all good players, but the forwards couldn't shoot goals, the halves didn't manage to feed the right set of forwards, and the backs couldn't prevent their opponents from scoring goals. However, it managed to win 4, draw 1 and lose 7 games.

In the University Tournament the representative team defeated Canterbury by 2—1, but found Otago too strong for them and lost 5—0.

In the Seven-a-side Tournament, held in July, the Junior A team gave an excellent display of the sort of hockey 'Varsity can play, but the superior training of the Toa team showed to advantage in the semi-final, when Varsity was defeated 1—0.

The Club wishes to congratulate Misses R. Nolan and J. Scott, who were chosen to represent Wellington against Horowhenua; also Misses j. Scott, K. Hoby, M. Wiggins and A. Hefford, who won their N.Z. University "Blues," and Misses E. McCallum and E. Maule, of the Training College team, who represented Wellington in the Dominion Tournament.
