■file senior and junior grade teams had a fairly successful season. The senior team was third in .the mam competition and was beaten in the final of the sudden death. The Loam was weakened towards the end of t.’rseason owing to the removal of pro-

minent members of the team. 'flic junior team was well in ; fie running in the junior competition and it was only in 1 lie last, two mat..dies

that their chances of viotorv were

taken a wav

To finish third in ‘he com petit ion was a good performance. If, is to bo hoped that, the rlnh will (his year field a team in on eh of the four competitions.

Messrs I). Spence, M. Bailey, an .
