The fast-improving Hospital team continued on their winning way and defeated Woolworths by 3 points to 2. C. Moylan. for hospital, gave the best display. Woolworths played a very open game, but were no match for the nurses.

The Y.M.C.A. team was very unlucky not to win their game against C. Smith’s. The latter team played too much as individuals instead of combining more as a team. In the ladies B grade games the Garages had their first victory over Cathies. J. Irwin threw a splendid goal just when the result of the game was in the balance. V. Russell played the best game for Garages. N. Macdonald being the pick of the Cathie team.

In the men’s games the State Kitchenette held the Reliance B team (who are leading for the championship) to a draw, the score being 16 all.
