BASKETBALL.

RESULTS FOR THE WEEK.

Owing to the unfavourable weather on Saturday, the Wairarapa Basketball Association’s tournament, arranged for that day, was postponed until next Saturday. Following are the results for the week:—

Primary B.—Central 34, Fernridge 24; Solway 14, St. Matthew’s 6; Central 22, Solway 21; 27, St. Matthew’s 24; Lansdowne 20, Central 18.

Secondary.— High School A and High School D won by default from Solway College teams. The High School A team, which has not lost a game this season, is therefore the winner in the A grade competition.

If'rieridiy games have been played as follows:—St. Bride’s .18, Technical School 9; High School A 36, St. Bride’s A

Semi-final.—Primary A: LanSdoW'nd 42, West 28. Lansdowne will now play Greytown, the winners in the Southern division.

Secondary B and Primary B: St. Bride’s teams, northern champions, journeyed south on Friday to play the Grey town teams, champions in the Southern division. The games resulted: Secondary B: St. Bride’s 22, Greytown 10; Primary B: St. Bride’s 24, Greytown 4. Both gamps were fast and open, and were characterised by short, accurate passing. In the primary game the Greytown players were kept on the defensive for the greater part of the time, but were wonderfully nimble, and the ball was cleverly handled by both sides. The same teams will again meet at St. Bride’s Convent for the final games.
