South Island.—J. Hastings, M. Down, J. Abrams, J. Stirling, J. Mann, M. Loudon, • C. Currie, I. Smith, E. Thomas, J. Kiddey. i Smith and Thomas were prominent in the early stages of the match, when South Island was on attack, with J. Kiddey, on the left wing, making some good runs. Each side was awarded two penalty corners but neither could capitalise. J. Stirling had a shot, but Goldsmith cleared well. North Island broke away and A. Hayde, showing smart stickwork, netted, but the goal was disallowed. Hayde made a good run for North Island and passed to D. Tooby, who beat the South goalkeeper with a welltimed flick shot. In the second half. South Island’s first goal came from a penalty bully against T. Moresby, who obstructed J. Stirling when the latter was in a scoring position. Smith won the bully for South Island. ■ ■ South Island stormed the North Island line, but could not score from three penalty corners. Eventually, J. Stirling cut in, drew the North goalkeeper and put South Island in the lead. Soon afterwards. Stirling had another shot, but this was disallowed because of kicks.
