Last Saturday afternoon THE MARORO HOCKEY GIRLS travelled out to Meanee to play tlie local team there. It turned out a most glorious afternoon, and the outing was enjoyed by everyone. Delicious afternoon tea was dispensed by the Meanee ladies, who did their best to make our afternoon an enjoyable one. The play at times was very fast and exciting, and when half time was called th? Maroros had to their credit a score of two goals to their opponents’ nil. During the second spell the Meanee girls’ defence was very good, and, in spite of the frequent attacks which our local team made, the score remained unchanged, leaving the Maroros victorious by two goals.
