Secondary schools hockey tourney

The Nelson College First XI won the inter-secondary schools hockey tournament played at Nelson during the term vacation. The team was unbeaten at the tournament in which 10 teams competed. Wanganui, runner-up to Nelson, lost only one match – to Nelson, in the final.

Wanganui goalie, P. Andrews, made many great saves during the tourney and was unlucky not to be chosen in the representative team.
