Greytown supporters have every reason to be pleased with the efforts of the teams participating in the King's Birthday tournament. The Kia Kaha team and Scouts won their respective grades convincingly. Added to that, the two Scout teams were the finalists, while in the ladies' sections, Greytown 'A met Greytown B in the semi-final. The ladies' team went through unbeaten. and scored 15 goals for and none against. The B team was defeated only by its A team and then only by 1 to nil, the lowest score put up by the A's. The B team, too, had the honour of defeating the Excelsior A team which was regarded as the most likely section winner. The play of both ladies’ teams was characterised by good positional work, excellent tackling, and sound passing. Home Guard. The Greytown units will parade at the Crown Theatre at 7.30 o'clock tonight.
