+ CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES Karori 3, United 2 University ...... 4 St. Augustine's 0 Wellington ... 5 insuranoo 0 The best hockey day yet this season was experienced at Karori on Saturday afternoon. There was a big muster of players, and the games were all keenly contested. The most interesting senior game was the encounter between Karori and United,' the former snatching a hard-earned victory. Insurance fought gamely with Wellington, but were defeated, while St. Augustine's, strange to say, fell easy victims to University. The following are the details of the various games: — KARORI—UNITED. The battle between Karori and United ' was really one of the best games wit- , nessed this season. Both teams played a fast determined game, and moreover played good hockey. Stratton ' scored the first goal for Karori, netting from a nice pass he received from Loader. United made persistent efforts to even up, and very soon were succssful, Lyons | scoring. Karori were again in the lead, | however, ere half-time oame, and Loader ' was responsible for this goal. The second | spell saw United again even matters, Lyons scoring. From that onward tie game was a most exciting one, and eventually G. Davies secured the winning goal for Karori. Mr. J. C. Cusack was referee. WELLINCTON—INSURANCE. Insurance gave hopes of doing big things, but the "scratch team," howover found Wellington. in the best of form, and it is 110 small wonder that they fell easy victims. In the first spell Sheeran and Favell scored for Wellingtcn, and in the second spell Waugh (2) and Bay scored. Mr. A. W. Manning refereed. UNIVERSITY—ST. AUCUSTINE'S. , After their brilliant display at the 1 opening of the season, St. Augustine's 1 were rather disappointing on Saturday ; in their game with University. The ; Petone team displayed two of the 1 greatest faults—bad attack and bad de- . i fence—so it is not surprising that'Uni- [ versity conquered them easily. Hostick 1 scored for the winners in the first spell, i and C. Strack (2), and Hostick again in [ the second spell. I Mr. G. Carver was referee. : JUNIOR CAMES. 1 University A (4) defeated Insurance .
