Canty loses hockey
Special correspondent Canterbury made some amends for a lamentable first half by coming back to 3-4 in the final of the annual quadrangular hockey tournament against Wellington yesterday. The score was 1-4 at half- ■ time and this barely re- _ fleeted Wellington’s dominance. The first goal came in three minutes when Wellington’s inside-left, Jan Borren, took three defenders with him before slipping the ball
back for Peter’Miskimmin to score. Ross Ambler soon equalised with a well hit penalty corner. In a period of sustained Wellington pressure, which lasted until half-time, Borren scored with a stroke and -Miskimmin • and B. Holmes put in excellent goals. Canterbury had no answer to the close markings of Miskimmin and Alan Mclntyre, who constantly denied the Canterbury inside forwards and centre-half, Ross
Fowler, any latitude at all. In the sOcond half the marking was less tight and Canterbury relished the difference. Fowler began to dominate the mid-field and Borren was rarely given the ball at all allowing* Canterbury to come back into the game. Ambler scored two goals and George Carnoutsos, playing at centre-forward, pushed one past John Melhuish, who had an erratic game in goal for Wellington.
