Correspondent) , Weather resembling a mid.siiii*nn'i' H cla.v !;i'cd ed the open. , lug of the Tenmka ami J>is- , (rid Basketball Association's competitions on Thursday afternoon. The conditions slightly nsTeeted piny, i>iU (ho games generaliy aero keenly [ fought out. TEMUKA WINS Playing Clamloboyo on the killer's ground, Tomuka Young Wumen’.s senior t<'u:n had uite a busy lime, just winning by C goals to 4. The mat oil was played on rather a rough grouml, and this no doubt was responsible tor ragged moments, although at no stage did either team let up. Clamleboye and Tcinuka are old rivals of long ■standing, and a win over the black-uiid-whiics was eagerly sought after by (he country nine. WiXCJ (ESTER DEFEATED A victory tor experience over youth and energy resulted at Pleasant Point, where the home team administered u thorough beating to the new Wim-Uester team. Point has earned a reputation tor fast and nippy play, and the interval since last season has not affected need have no regrets with regal'd them in the slightest.

Oil All I DEFAULTS it was indeed unfortunate that Orari conid not sue its way clear to raise a team for the match with St. .Joseph's.

TemuKa D being - rather unlucky in losing by lo goals to 12. The visitors, though including one or two players of ex- * perleuce, were mostly comparatively now to the game, and therefore did well to come so near to winning. I Li (he Tomuka Domain, the e A'oinig Women's A team gave a n sound all-round exhibition against a t comparatively young St. Josephus -A team. Despite the prevailing limit, there were several bright moments . that gare an indication of the possi- y bililies of both learns, fjt. Joseph's, T for such a changed team from last 1 1 year's blue-and-whito juniors, comblued most effectively, but were p weak on defence.
