A keen and interesting hockey match may be expected on the Basin Reserve to-morrow afternoon, when the Wellington and Wairarapa men's senior representative teams will meet. For many years there has been friendly rivalry between Wellington and Wairarapa, and. every season the teams have provided a good exhibition of hocksy. The Wellington team are a strong combination, mainly composed of young players who have shown form this season, practically the only seasoned player being the captain, B. M'Leod. In the past Wairarapa have always fielded a reliable team, and tomorrow's match is expected to be well up to the standard of previous encounters. The game commences at 3 o'clock.
