Y.W.CJL HAS NARROW VICTORS’. \ ■ .. ■' .- DEFEAT OF NEW PLYMOUTH B. ' . - The two women’s matches in the north- ig:; hodkey division, resulted in. win*; for U Y.W.C.A. A and New Plymouth A.' • .■.'J/V • Details are:— / ‘ Y.WjC.A. Iv. New Plymouth Bv, . New Plymouth' AlO v. Tariki 0. - . ._• Playing on the slow ground at the ; New Plymouth racecourse, the two weakest teams, New Plymouth B and Y.W.C.A. met for the first'time this. son. Honours were practically even, and . : ; - t play was hard and ready, although-very ragged. B. Wagstaff for Y.W.CJL was 7. the only scorer. 7. , Y.W.C.A. would not have baa a nope of victory .without its fine ; full-back, L Jepson. A player of much finer calibre than any other in either team, with ’ y jnagnificent cteaiwMta ltit» again and \ again threw back the attack. They were planed to * ; way that - betrayed, an old hand at the game. The virtue of the . .Y’? rest of the team was abounding enthusi- )• asm. Though the players strayed about the field and neglected their positions, - they were full of vim and always ieedy tjU to tackle. L. Kitchingman, B. Wagstaff 7 and J. Berry, were prominent. ' a i g New Plymouth B was. handicapped by playing one short Its tower of strength was the full-back fine, with Mrs. Foreman and L. Sampson doing yecjyian service. F. Chivers played doggedly, but her clearance hits were too weak.' N. Hendeirson was the best <xf the forwards, though lack of training took away some of her‘dash. J. Rides, a novice to tiw 7/ / game, showed unusual promise, but was ' - subject to the faults of over-enthusiasm, : straying from position in an. effort to do too much eolo work. She might make a r better half than a forward. ' . . 777 The referees were Messrs. P. Colling .7; and J. Bond. ■ ' f ■ ' ' •" ~.< NEW.

Tariki . had the advantage of knowing its . ground,, but superior combination .> triumphed. '• J. Hutcjiison scored seven goals and S. Brough scared three. New Plymouth A forwards played their ' .7 usual' sound ■ game, with J. Hutchison racing away repeatedly and S. Brough ~ .7'5 full of energy inJeading the attack. V. 7. l -.| Clegg had less of the game than she is - < 7 accustomed to. Of the halves, R. Eagles. on the left and D. Jones in the centre- V? were on form. The full-backs let little > .7 -through, and J. Cummins in goal hit. the . ball only once all day. ■7." J Tariki showed considerable improvement and the players were very fit-and 7 particularly huick.to tackle. The centre, ? : forward, I. Therkleson, and the left wing ,7 were prominent on the offensive, but ~ they were inadequately supported. The - j half line was the weak link of the ride, playing too ,far back. The forward 7-, rashes would have had 1 greater success 7.7 S if the halves had played farther tip.' Mr. H. Gush was referee. . , .....‘i ■ — . ■ < SOUTH TARANAKI GAMES. 7 REFEREES FOR-WEDNESDAY.
