Another match in the Empson Cup competition, held under the auspices of the Waipa Hockey Association, was played at Patqrangi, when the home team met United. Paterarigi held the advantage for a start, and after pressing for some time scored a goal through the agency of Tarr. After some time United took a hand, and at least two golden opportunities were missed. Paterangi, who were keeping their places better, scored again later, Burrows acting. ■ United, putting up a hot attack, scored, B. Irwin putting in a hot shot. Half-time came with the score: Pateo-angi 2, United 1. The second half saw some give and take play till United set up a hot attack and R. Andrews with a good shot equalised. Paterangi promptly retaliated and almost scored with a good shot. However, their next attempt was more successful, G. Finch scoring nicely. There was some exciting play after this, one hot attack by United almost succeeding. However, Paterangi made the game secure. P. Tarr netting another shot. G. Finch succeeded in scoring again just on time, leaving (he final scores: Paterangi 5, United 2. Paterangi’s .combination was decidedly superior, and it was this that gained them the victory, though they should be a much improved team by the end of the season. Boswell was a tower of strength to United. Paterangi all worked well, the hacks backing up their forwards and hitting to them. Mr W. J. Hebden acted as referee. The Te Awamuau team was entertained to afternoon tea by the Paterangi ladies in their usual hospitable fashion. FIXTURES FOR SATURDAY.
