HOCKEY

SATURDAY’S MATCHES The following are the results of games in Dunedin:— ALBANY v. CITY. Albany and City met at Oval No. 1 on Saturday in a game which proved much more interesting than bad been anticipated. The ground was in very poor order, but, despite this, the standard of the play, particularly in the first half of the match, was fairly high. The latter stages of the second spell were not quite so interesting, City appearing to tire, and allowing the Albany forwards to do their work more easily than would otherwise have been the ease. The game ended with the scores : Albany 2 goals. City 1 goal. HIGH SCHOOL OLD BOYS v. TECHNICAL COLLEGE OLD BOYS. High School Old Boys secured a victory over Technical Old Boys at Oval No. 2, over Technical Old Boys at Noval No. 2, the game ending with the scores: H.S.

LADIES’ HOCKEY The following table shows the positions of the teams in the A Grade competition :—

OTAGO v. MOMONA. Otago proved too good for Momona when these teams met on Saturday. Although Momona did a fair share of attacking, they were not up to the finished play of the Otago vanguard. The scores were : Otago 6 Momona 1 UNIVERSITY v. TECHNICAL OLD GIRLS. A very even game was played on Logan Park between University and Technical Old Girls. Technical took their share of attack, and often had the Blue defence in difficulties. But University’s forwards made more of their opportunities, and an even game ended : University .. . i 2 Technical Old Girls Nil. HIGH SCHOOL v. TRIANGLE. School had all the best of the game against Triangle at Logan Park, especially in the first spell. Scores : High School 3 Triangle 1 B GRADE. Momona I 6. Momona II 5. Otago 4. Triangle nil. C GRADE.

At the New Zealand Hockey Association meeting to-night the Otago Association gave notice declining June 27 as the date for the shield match with Canterbury. As Waikato had been allotted the recent match it was decided to offer June 27 to Waikato, and failing its immediate acceptance the date would be offered to the Buller Association, which had written asking for a match on that date. NEXT TOURNAMENT AT AUCKLAND. WELLINGTON, June 15. At a meeting of the New Zealand Ladies’ Hockey Association it was decided that the 1931 Dominion tournament be allotted to Auckland.
