ASSOCIATION'S COMPETITIONS. SATURDAY'S FIXTURES. Another series of games in the South Canterbury Hockey Association’s competitions was played on Saturday in bleak weather. MEN’S SECTION. SOUTH END A V. CAMBRIDGE B. Both sides were short-handed and consequently offside breaches were numerous. South End opened their account from a goal by F. O’Connor. E. Sanders immediately added another. S. Hughes met no opposition when he scored the third goal. F. O'Connor ran through from halfway and netted. Sanders repeated the movement a moment later. South End now had the upper hand and Hughes (4) and F. O’Connor added to the score before the interval: South End A 10, Cambridge 3 6. Cambridge played better in the second spell and kept the scoring within bounds. F. O’Connor ran through and netted again. The last score came from S. Hughes’ stick. The final scores were:— South End A 12 Cambridge 6 Messrs L. Davies and W. Gow controlled the game. TRINITY v. CAMBRIDGE. Cambridge broke away from the bully off and W.
