WOMEN'S HOCKEY: Maoris are in many of the North Island Provincial teams, and the Hawkes Bay and Poverty Bay provincial teams have a majority of Maoris. In Wellington, Elva Love, Moana Katene and Margaret Mariu were in the provincial team. Both Elva Love and Jane Maxwell (from Auckland) were in the North Island team playing in Invercargill last season. Most of the girls playing hockey learn while at secondary school and play in the ordinary affiliated clubs, although there is a Maori sub-association in Poverty Bay and Hawkes Bay. In Wellington there are two teams (Toa and Konini) affiliated to the national body but consisting of Maoris only.
