Skeet. Hockey enthusiasts should be looking forward to the meeting of Eastern, New Zealand premier ladies team for the last three years, with the English ladies. The success of the southern combination will probably give some indication of the prospects of the New Zealand team, which plays its first game at Christchurch on Wednesday, July 6. With a wet ground Eastern may hold the visitors, but even on a dry ground the Southland combination is likely to give the English ladies the hardest match of the tour. There will be no games under the Wairarapa Ladies’ Hockey Association tomorrow, owing to the visit of the representative team to Pongaroa. Misses L. Cadwallader, M. Keltie and D. McCarthy are the members of the local team chosen to make the trip. They will go to Masterton by the 7.40 a.m. bus in order to connect with cars leaving at 8.30. The other local ladies would do well to hold a practice, weather permitting, even for a five-a-side practice. The Association, it is understood, will conduct a tournament' later on, and this should in itself be an incentive to the local girls to practice.
