Quite a good game was played at Lansdowne on Saturday between Old Boys and Greytown. These two young teams should produce good players and excellent hockey in the future. The game started at a slow pace. Old Boys doing most of the attacking until after about 5 minutes play Evans centred for Jaspers to score. This opening score livened the play up. Old Boys attacked again and conceded a penalty corner from which. S. Faulknor found the net. but was penalised L.” carrying. Greytown then attacked and the shot was saved by, the Old Bovs' goalie. A free hit to Old Boys relieved them from a dangerous position. Some good play followed with Greytown having a slight advantage until a fine run by Old Boys gave Faulknor a shot which just missed. Greytown then attacked and shot into the net. but the goal was not allowed on account of sticks. Greytown kept up the attack but over-, kcennesss poiled chances. However their efforts were rewarded just before half time when Keltic scored from a scramble in the goal mouth. Play was very even for the first 15 minutes of the second spell, but Ironthen on Old Boys’ forwards were always dangerous and their almost continuous attacks kept the Greytown backs very busy defending. During the closing stages Evans and Marchbanks had shots that missed and Faulknor and Jaspers spoiled good chances by infringements at critical positions. There was no further score and the game ended in a draw. CARTERTON v. WESLEY. NARROW WIN FOR SOUTHERN TEAM. Carterton and Wesley met at Carterton on Saturday and the home team won by a narrow margin, Wesley improving on their previous performances. The score was Carterton 3, Wesley 2.
