ENGLAND WIN IN SOUTH
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
GORE, July 2
Played before several thousand spectators, the women's hockey match between England and Eastern Southland at Gore today provided the finest exhibition of the game yet witnessed here. The game was marked by brilliant play by both teams, with England a shade the better in attack and defence. Throughout, the pace set was exceptionally fast and there were incidents in plenty to excite the crowd.
During the first spell fortunes fluctuated for 20 minutes until the English combination told and) Miss O'Donoghue opened the scoring. In the first few minutes of the second half the English forwards completed a brilliant effort instigated by Miss Dowling, who in-passed to Miss West, who netted. Soon after, Eastern Southland opened their account as the result of a scramble in the English goal, Miss Sheriff netting. The final stages of the play were very even.
