Young Hockey Players
The hockey season just ended has seen two major innovations. The first of these is the development of play for schoolgirls for the first time, with Mrs F. Poole and Hani Smiler as coaches. The local rep. team competed in the Napier-Wairoa-P.B. tournament at Wairoa recently and took top honours.

Some action shots of the youngsters playing on Childers Road Reserve recently.
The "Flying Saucers" show how to follow the ball, with Kate Smith (extreme right) in the lead.
Mona Tupara is both the mascot and the comedienne of the team, and is giving the camera the raspberry in the team picture (opposite page), but on the field this tiny tot belies her size. She can really hit that ball!
In the boys' game B. Campbell and T. Corlett battle for the ball, with Campbell getting the upper hand.
