SEVEN-A-SIDE HOCKEY

TO-MORROW’S TOURNEY GALA DAY AT REMUERA Prospects are bright for the King's Birthday hockey tourney, consisting of seven-a-side matches and athletic events. . All the grounds are in first rate order so that if the weather holds fine a successful day’s sport is assured. Hockey at any time is a fast and vigorous game, but when a side numbers seven instead of the usual eleven the battle of the sticks becomes doubly strenuous for those participating, and intensely exciting from the point of view of the onlooker. Then again, in seven-a-side hockey the element of luck is a powerful factor as a result of which it is not always the better team that wins. The following are the teams: Senior Grade Somerville A.
