Technical Old Girls A playing splendid basketball, went through to the finals when the strong, fast Convent Old Girls A team defeated them for the Cup. Woolworths put a very creditable performance in the semifinals and are to be congratulated on a good game. The visiting Christchurch team were a strong combination in the intermediate section going through without a loss. Their centre third was particularly attractive. G.T.H.S.
