A further match was played by the team against Otago University at Lyall Bay on 11th June. This match was to have been played on the Basin Reserve, but unfortunately inclement weather necessitated transfer to Lyall Bay. Although the nature of the ground was not such as to permit a first class exhibition of hockey, the game was hard and fast. The result was a win for Otago by 4 goals to 2.

In the evening after the match the visitors were entertained at dinner at Barrett's Hotel followed by a theatre party.

It was endeavoured to arrange a match against Canterbury during August, but unsuccessfully, as neither Club could manage the trip at the time. But there is a strong possibility that a match will eventuate next season.

Junior A and, Junior B teams.—These two teams have done quite well in reaching the half-way mark on the competition ladder. Among twelve teams in the Junior Competition, Junior A is 6th on the ladder and Junior B 7th. The following shows the detailed results:—

Junior A.—Played 9, won 5, lost 3, drawn 1, goals for 27, goals against 16, Championship points 11.

Junior B.—Played 11, won 4, lost 6, drawn 1, goals for 36, goals against 53, championships points 9.

In the Club Championship 'Varsity reached 7th place with 38 points.
