Senior—A.

The excellent start in the club championships made by our team was maintained, and we have annexed the Senior Championship. This is the first time 'Varsity has accomplished this since before the war. In the inter-Varsity tournament we were not so successful, being runners-up to Otago University. We lost by 3-2, after a splendid game. Massey, Frazer and Simpson, gained places in a New Zealand University team which played Wellington and won 2-1.

McLeod, Massey, Paul, Sykes, Simpson and Frazer, were chosen to represent Wellington at various times.

Senior—B.

In spite of the fact that the past season was only the second in which a team had been entered in this grade, the Senior "B" team was successful in winning the Championship.

There were eight teams in the grade, and of the fourteen games played the first nine were won, the tenth lost by one goal, the eleventh drawn, and the last three won. Forty-eight goals were scored by the team, while only 13 were scored against it. This is the lowest number of goals scored against any team in the Senior "A" or "B" Grades, and speaks well for the defensive work of the team.

The regular players were as follows: Forwards.—Priestley, Bailey, Wale-ran, MacDuff (vice-capt.), Macdonald and Read. Halves.—Bollard, Hain (Captain), and Plank. Full-backs.—Vietmeyer and Lucas. Goal-keeper.—Stafford.

The team also, on 4th June, played a match against a team comprised of members of the teams of the visiting University players who were not in the N.Z. University team, and were defeated by a formidable combination by only one goal. Further, on 18th August, the team travelled to Wanganui to play a match with the Wanganui representative hockey team, the result been a win for the home team by 3 goals to 2. A return match was played in Wellington on 14th September, and this was won by the Senior "B" team by 2 goals to 1.

Junior—A.

This team forfeited whatever chance it may have had of winning a further championship for the club, when two matches in succession were lost at the commencement of the second round; but on the whole, the final result—third place in the grade—cannot be regarded as other than satisfactory. Bishop, Harris and Mills deservedly gained representative honours, and travelled to Nelson with the Junior Representatives.

All members of the team played well, though perhaps Bishop, a tireless worker in the forwards, and Robinson and Button in the backs, may be singled

The following played for the team during the season:—Wilson, Bishop. Harris, Nash (capt.), Franklin, Jackson, Jeffries, Robinson, Mills, Doig, Button (vice-capt.), Hogg, Foster, Petherick, Hughes.

Third Grade.

The matches during the second half of the season, although not as successful as some might have wished, were all very enjoyable, and throughout the season the team combined well, making the games very fast and interesting.

Women's Hockey Club.

As far as the position in the competition, or wins are concerned, the season has been unsuccessful. We do not feel, however, that the season has been wasted, for we have gained in experience, and the enthusiasts who turned out every Saturday have felt it worth while to play even a losing game.
