Miss (Hayward, left full-back, whs fair, but let a lo't pass by, and was inclined to speculate. _ Miss Clement, left half, played a good game, but is inclined to get up amongst the forwards. Miss N. Davies, centre half, was oood on attack and did a lot of useful work, but must remember (to help her b-a'ck's. Miss Brough, right half, played well considering it was only her second o-ame.
