HOCKEY MATCHES. (From Our Correspondent.) On Saturday May 6 the Northern District hockey fixtures were advanced a further stage when Riversdale met Lumsden on the local hockey ground. The teams took the field as follows: Lumsden.—R. Graham; A. Hoffman, J. Sims; H. Small, F. Shuttleworth, Mary Sherriff; M. Small, Margaret Sherriff, C. Reidy, M. Menzies, V. Tomlinson. Riversdale.—M. Wright; K. Dillon, D. Green; E. Dillon, B. Hodge, R. McMath; E. Miller, G. Jones, K. Jopp; M. Miller, I. McAlister. Lumsden proved the winners, defeating Riversdale by 6 goals to nil. The result came in the nature of a surprise as last season Riversdale had shown great form. In the first spell the honours were fairly even but in the second spell Lumsden were superior in every department the combination be'ing almost faultless whereas Riversdale, although playing well individually, failed to combine. Goals were scored by Margaret Sherriff 3, C. Reidy 2, M. Small 1. Ex-Pupils’ Re-union Ball.
