Women's Hockey

Women's Hockey.

Women's hockey has improved steadily since the beginning of the season. In the first round Hutt United defeated V.U.C. 7-0, but when we met them again last Saturday, Hutt, a much older and more experienced team, were hard pressed to gain a 2-0 win.

The defeat of Technical Old Girls was a surprise, and, to quote the "Dominion," it was a splendid exhibition of the code, which showed the 'Varsity team in their true light.

Nancy Webber is continuing her good work in the goal, and has already represented Wellington twice this season.

Elsie Gibbons is tackling well, and makes good use of the push stroke, but needs to practise a good clearing shot.

Chris Robertson, who has been playing brilliantly throughout the season, has been invaluable as left half. Time and again she has broken up dangerous attacks by the opposing forwards, and her tricky stickwork is a delight to watch.

Eric Williamson gains a lot of ground on the right wing, but is inclined to keep the ball a little too long. She should develop a stronger and more accurate centring shot.

Audrey Harding has played consistently good hockey this season.
