Men's Hockey

In congratulating the Men's Hockey Club on its excellent record this season "Salient" would Like to point out that Karori and Wellington College Old Boys have held a firm grip on the title for some years now and the achievement of the Varsity team in defeating both teams this season while remaining undefeated themselves is a very commendable effort

The team played convincingly in defeating the Old Boys team. 4-2. and also in defeating Karori, 2-1.

Those responsible for this very (me record include the club's two Wellington representatives, Dennis Padget and Wilf Haskell. Padget, in particular, is having a very good season and has several times received more than favourable comment in the local hockey write-ups. However, he would be the first to admit that the excellent record which the senior team has built up is due to a fine team spirit and solid team work.

We congratulate the Hockey team and wish them well in the remaining matches of the season. We look forward to seeing this team capturing the Tournament Hockey Shield in August at Christ-church.
