N.Z. HOCKEY WOMEN. A BRILLIANT CONTEST. DOMINION'S FINE RECORD. MELBOURNE, August 4. The New Zealand women's hockey team yesterday defeated Australia in a brilliant match by 2 goals to 1. This made the Dominion side's record for the tour eight victories for one defeat. • As the Australian team was not selected until the previous eveuiug the members had no chance to practi.se together. New Zealand opened the game and attacked throughout. Miss McKenzie scored the first goal, and at half-time the score was New Zealand I, Australia 0. In the second half New Zealand still pressed. Within ten minutes Mrs. Reid shot, cleanly and scored. Australia fought hard, but the speed of Misses McKenzie, Drake and Cotter, forwards, was too great. The defence of Misses Mackic and Gudsell was very effective. Australia's goal was scored near the end of tho game. Misses Mortimer, Dahlberg and Hansen and Mrs. Donald were omitted (jom the New Zealand team. ' Tho New Zealand women's hockey team's games in the Commonwealth: — (Joals For.
