HOOKEY AT WAITUHI

Thursday' was a. red-letter day for the Waitulii-Alaoris, the occasion being the. annual hockey' tournament between tlie visiting teams from the Aowera club and the local players. The, daily routine work was suspended, one and all forgathering at the recreation ground, where three hard-fought matches took place, two being for the Tipene Tutaki and liana Korewa cup and: Hie Katerina cup. The opening game was for the iormer trophy, and resulted in a win for the holders: (Waituhi) by one goal to nil. The game opened very strongly with’Waituhi oil the defence. ‘Later the play went to mid-field and on into the Aowera circle. After a stubborn defence the visitors pushed the homo team to midfield, where even play continued until the end of the spell. On resuming, both teams soon appeared at the top ol their form, neither for a time being able to gain the advantage. With, a change of tactics, however, coupled with some brilliant stick work, Waituhi invaded the visitors’ territory, where Rangi Alokau managed to shoot the only goal. Messrs. George Rangiaho and Kershaw controlled the game. The second game was Waituhi ladies v. Aowera ladies, and enthusiasm was at high pitch throughout, both teams being well supported on the side-lines. From the outset the visitors attacked strongly, carrying play to the home area, where a penalty corner hit was‘awarded Aowera. The defence, however, was sound, and play returned to hall-way, Aliss Hilda Edwards broke away to miss scoring for Waituhi by a narrow margin. Vigorous defence soon gave place to attack, and the bell sounded for half-time with no score. From the bully-off the visiting backs soon showed that they were a. combination of no mean order, and took the ball to score. Play was now fast and marked by few infringements. Waituhi were again unlucky in just missing another goal. Aowera rallied and took the ball to tho Waituhi goal for a second goal. The final bell sounded with, Waituhi again attacking. Messrs J. Edwards and Kershaw were the umpires. The final match for the Katerina Cup was contested by the men’s teams, and after a brilliant‘display Waituhi emerged victorious by one goal to nil. From the start both teams showed the best of form and play was up and down the field throughout the spell, there being no score. On the resumption of play, a fine piece of solo work by Peepe King)' resulted in tho only goal ol the game. Nothing daunted, Aorewa pressed hard, but were unable to break throiigii the Waituhi defence. Messrs Rangiaho and Kershaw shared the control of the game. The popular win was largely to the brilliant stick work of George Tupara, who persistently lmffled the attack of the visitors. His hard hitting was indeed a feature of the days play.

fn the evening a social lunctioii took place in the meeting-house, where the trophies were presented. >
