The weather was poor last Saturday for the hockey competition, and the grounds for the most part were sodden and heavy and not conducive to fast or spectacular play.

The score in the first half was one point to nil in favour of Matariki, but in the second half they scored four goals, mainly through tho speed of their forwards. The final score was: Matariki 5, Scinde 0. Messi's Cameron and Thompson were referees. HERETAUNGA KIWIS. Both sides played a great game in the first spell, no score being registered.
