There were 29 financial members. The A team played seven matches winning six and losing one and the B team played five matches, winning four. During the season tho games for the cups were played off and some very interesting games resulted. The winners were Miss Thelma Davey and Mr. D. Clark. Mr. ana Mrs. H.
