Roller Hockey
Forty minutes of brilliant roller hockey, played at a sizzling pace, were witnessed by a large crowd at Alfred Cox Park on a recent Saturday night, when the New Zealand representative side met and defeated the Glsborne team by five goals to four.
With their expert teamwork and positional play holding them in good stead, the home side had an excellent game, holding their formidable opponents well, and looking every bit the top class team that they are.
