N.Z. WOMEN TOURISTS DEFEAT NEWCASTLE By Telegraph—Copyright—Press Assn. NEWCASTLE, July 17. Showing superiority in practically every department of the game, the New Zealand women hockey players in their opening game defeated a representative Newcastle team by 5 goals to nil. The visitors’ display was of a type almost unknown to the
Newcastle public. The players were in fine fettle and they gave a brilliant exhibition of stick work, clever passing, dribbling and push shots. They showed how simple the game is when reduced to essentials. Their effortless style was the subject of general admiration. The left wing, M. Cotter, was the outstanding player. She gave a polished display and showed amazing accuracy. Newcastle were not altogether outclassed. They came within scoring distance several times, but found difficulty in finishing off their movements. Goals were scored for New Zealand I by M. McKenzie (4) and H. Reid. ' The New Zealand team was: Goal, 1 O’Connor; backs, McDonald, Woolley; right half, Gudsell; centre half, Sanson; left half, Mackie; right wing, I Saville; right inner, McKenzie; centre ’ forward, Reid; left inner, Drake; left wing, Cotter.
