Weir House Hockey

After a disappointing display against Victoria House, whom they defeated by 4 goals to 3, the Weir House XI, in defeating Hula by 3-2, gave their finest performance this season.

With still one match to play, the Weir House team has suffered one loss in the second round—a good performance for a novice team. Earlier in the season there was a tendency for most of the players to be individualistic but this has been superseded by sound combination.

Of the forwards. Rutherford and Whitlock were outstanding, the former scoring all three goals. Whitlock's stick work is an example to his fellow players. Jenkins is showing Improved form. At centre-half Culliford provided a solid and at times brilliant defence. Henderson, who deputised owing to a shortage of players, helped considerably.

The full backs, Moss and Goldstone, combined well, showing the initiative necessary to counteract the hard forward rushes. Thompson, with fine clearing shots, did everything asked of him as the last line of defence.
