Great Success For Nelson Y.M.C.A.

Three teams from the Nelson Y.M.C.A. competed with great success in the New Zealand Y.M.C.A. older girls' and older boys' tournaments recently. The boys, in a field of nine, won their tournament and the girls' A team was third in a field of 18. The girls were unbeaten in the floor exercises for the third successive year. A very young girls' B team also covered itself with glory, gaining seventh place in a field of 18.
