AVairoa s win was the reward of persistency. Poverty Hay had slightly the hotter of play throughout, but relaxed their efforts towards the close, relying on the one-goal lead to retain them the. trophy.

Waii'ou ppened- up with a slight, advantage, the forwards rushing play into the circle, and .Mrs. Tuhoe, Poverty Bay full back! had to reach high above her head to bring down a shot which must have beaten the goalkeeper. The home forward line began to combine well, bur was pulled up for being offside several times. Miss Rum, inside right, opened up some promising movements, and was well supported by Airs.

HOME SIDE IN LEAD The visitors played good hockey, !lm main feature being a. sound defence. Airs. Single, the goalkeeper, was efficient, and stopped many shots. Miss P. Aranui was t-lio better of the fullbacks, her tactics frequently breaking up the Poverty Bay attacks. Miss Single, at centre, and Aliss Toliara, on the right, were the best, of a strong half-line, while Mesdames Mclntosh and Gemmell were the strength of the forwards. The form of some of the Poverty Bay players was disappointing. Airs. Horsfall did not. have enough lo do in goal to really test her because Airs. Tulioe was such a tower of strength in Hie backs. Aliss Allen did not reproduce last year's form, and her intercepting was weak. The half-line did not rise iu the occasion, but the forwards weid well, except that they did not. make best use of" all their opportunities. Aliss Rum, at inside light-, was the pick of the line, her main fault being obstruction ; she combined well wil-h Aliss Te Ota. on t-lio right wing. The first goal came immediately after the resumption. Poverty Bay attacked down the right wing, AJisses To Ota and Rum working effectively.

Wairoa then attacked down tile left wing, and Miss Walker beat Miss Allen and Mrs. Tulioe, the latter, however, recovering to send behind. The next Wairoa attack went clown the right, and Mrs. Mclntosh sent in a. long centre to Mrs. Oemnicll, who smacked in a high shot from the circle edge, the.g'oalio having no chance.
