WAIRARAPA ASSOCIATION TOURNEY. WELLINGTON TEAM WINS SENIOR MEN’S. A high standard of play and keenly contested finals were features of the Wairarapa Hockey Association’s tournament, which was held on the Lansdowne grounds yesterday in the presence of a good crowd of spectators. Sixty-five teams competed from all parts of the Wairarapa and from Wellington. The men’s final was very fast, Huia (Wellington) defeating Hastwell by 3 goals to 2. The pace told on the Hastwell team, which was' handicapped somewhat by the fact that Huia were comparatively fresh after having had a bye. Excelsior A won the senior ladies’ contest against College.
