SATURDAY'S GAMES
KAROR! I BEATEN
, The defeat of Karori I by Hula, and Hutt's I victory over Technical, were two of the out- | standing features of the senior -A grade men's hockey matches on Saturday. Wesley beat the second Karori team, and- Wellington accounted for University. WELLINGTON V. UNIVERSITY. Wellington did most of the attacking when play began against University, but although fielding a changed team, University managed to stave off most of the attacks and replied with swift thrusts towards Wellington's goal. Nearing the end of the first half, Ferguson scored for Wellington following a corner. After half-time, University rearranged their I forward line and as ■ a result G. Shaw scored. Several strong attacks were launched by Wellington. Quinlan scored twice. Cole added another for University, the game ending Wellington 3, University 2. HUIA v. KARORI I. Although .on the defensive frequently at the commencement of play, Hula were the first to score against Karori I, and eventually emerged the winners. As a result of spirited movements Karori had several chances, but S. Wilson and others worked manfully in Huia's | defence, and the Karori forwards lacked dej cisiveness in the circle. N. Searle scored for Huia after a quid* rush, and later the same i player seized his opportunity and again netted. ! Karori were frequently penalised for offside j play, and this resulted in ruining many promisi ing movements. They tried hard near the i conclusion of the game, but Huia were their equals, and staved off the assaults. Jeromson, on Karori's right wing, and Neate were promil nent, but the game ended with the score Huia j2, Karori I 0. ! KARORI II v. WESLEY. A fairly even game resulted between Karori iII and Wesley, Wesley winning by two goals to one. The Karori backs went well, but the forward line lacked Initiative, and this, combined with the sound Wesley defence, largely accounted for the defeat of the Karori side. Scorers for Wesley were L. Childs # and C. Churchill and for Karori H. Mears. The game I ended Wesley 2, Karori II 1. | HUTT v. TECHNICAL. In a fairly evenly-contested game Hutt beat Technical by one goal to nil 'at Hutt Recreation Ground. The heavy nature of the ground to a large extent made bright, open play almost Impossible. However, Hutt, who showed more I initiative in overcoming the conditions, were ! definitely superior in the back division. The only goal was scored early in the game when Chapman, the Hutt inside right, broke through and centred to Mullins, who netted. The Technical forwards combined well, but their efforts were nullified by the splendid defence of the Hutt full-backs, who played outstanding games. For Technical, Garbett, the centre forward, played a fine attacking game. The final score was Hutt 1, Technical 0. LOWER GRADES. Lower grade games resulted as follows: — Senior B (First Division). —Technical 4, University 4; Huia I 4, Island Bay 0; Karori 2, Hutt 1.
