First Time Four

For the first time, four representative teams (midget, junior, second grade and 'A' grade) met in a Poverty Bay versus East Coast netball fixture at the Victoria Domain courts, on July 1. Good sporting netball was seen, especially in the second and midget grades.

P.B. 'A' goal shooter Maraea Akuhata puts the ball through the ring easily. At right is P.B. goal attack Mina Newcombe.

An East Coast 'A' grader fails to put Maraea off another goal. The final score was P.B. 46 – E.C. 16.

In the midget game the result was P.B. 29 – E.G. 20. Here East Coast's Karen Summerfield gets set for a sure goal.

The East Coast Juniors defeated P.B. by 25 to 17. Here Janice McDonald is about to score for the Coast.

In the second grade game there was a draw, 18-all. Here, Gloria Sutton finds the ring.
