Bethel, president of the Dannevirke Hockey Association, presented the trophies and congratulated the Norsewood men's hockey team on its meritorious performance in winning the Armstrong Challongo Cup for tho fourth time in succession. The competition had been keenly contested he said, and the success of the Norsewood team was due largely to the two splendid backs it possessed in A. Bennett and F. Thompson. The whole team was a good combination and dcserved its win. Mr Bethell also congratulated and presented the team with the Eraser Memorial Cup as winners of the 11-a-side tournament. Mr F. Thompson, captain, accepted the trophies on behalf of his team. The Smith Memorial Skield for five-a-side competition, was won by the Huia Club, Dannevirke.
