FIVE-A-SIDE TOURNEY AT PALMERSTON N.

The annual five-a-side hockey tournament played under the auspices of the Manawatu Hockey Association was held at the sports ground, Palmerston N., yesterday afternoon. The grounds were somewhat greasy, but, with the exception of a few pools, the conditions for play were quite satisfactory.

The surprise win of the day was when Rongotea defeated H.S.O.G. in the semi-final, and was thus entitled to play off with Ohakea A for the final. The latter team eventually won by a hit behind, after a good game. FIRST ROUND. Ohakea A defeated Technical 3 —o, 11.5.0.
