In the ladies’ A grade Hospital showed'excellent. form to defeat the strong W.F.C.A. team, and will take a lot of beating in the competition.. Stock and Station had a very narrow call against C. Smith's. The B grade leaders, McKenzie’s, maintained their position although hard pressed by Garages, while Graham s notched a well deserved win against Cathies. With Vesta and W.F.C.A. both playing basketball of the right type,, a great game resulted and the latter thoroughly earned their win.
