- > EKETAHUNA v. MASTFRTON HIGH SCHOOL. The ladies of the Eketahuna Hockey Club journeyed to Mastertor, yesterday afternoon, and played a match with the High School girls on the School Ground. The followh g were the teams: —Eketahuna—Foiwards, Misses A. Anderson (captain), Watson, Marshall, Christensen and Seymour; halves, Misses Fogden, Torwick and B. Boyle; backs, MissesBoyle and J. Anderson; goal, Miss Kershaw. High School — Forwards, Misses C. Easthope, E. Elliott, A. Jackson, C. Elliott and M. McKenzie; halves, Misses E. Dag*, D. Jackson and Wilton; backs, Misses I. McKenzie (captain) and 0. Dagg; goal, Miss D. Terry. The match was very one-sided. The School girls, by their splendid combination and superior knowledge of the game, had a very easy victory, and won by ten goals to nil. Good individual playwas shown by several members of th? visiting team, but this was marred by lack of support on the part, of other players. Good, fast forward, play was shown by Miss Watson (wing forward), and Miss Anderson (centre). Miss Marshall (substitute) played a good game for the visitors. Although such a large number of goals were scored, Miss Kershaw defended well and prevented a number of shots being recorded as goals. The backs of the visiting team showed up better in stopping the bait than in passing and line-wcrk. The Eketahuna Club is a young club, but possesses very promising material. When its members have learned to play in their positions in thefield, and to pass and hit with better judgment they will make a good combination. For the High School the forwards all played well. Two goals, were secured by Miss C. Easthop?, and four each by Misses E. Elliott and A. Jackson. The School possesses two splendid backs in Misses I. McKenzie and 0. Dagg, their stopping and hitting being very effective. Mr J. Bee was referee. After the match the visitors were entertained by the School girls. A match will be played on the Schoolgrounds, to-morrow afternoon, at 1 o'clock, between teams representing the Wellington Terrace District High School and Masterton District High School.
