The special challenge match between the Featherston ladies’ hockey' team and the Featherston Post and Telegraph staff took place on Saturday. The teams were very fortunate in having fine weather to play in. The Post Office team was gaily bedecked in all the colours of the rainbow, and created quite a sensation as they arrived on the field. The match ended in a draw, 3 goals each. The scorers for the ladies were Misses A. Johnson, A. Chaston and J. Hutana. The scorers for the Post Office were Trevor Jury and Charlie Houghton. The match was a riot of fun from beginning to end. The proceeds were in aid of the local Red Cross Society’s normal activities and it was very gratifying to the two teams to know that their effort had raised between £8 and £9. Mr A. T. (“Denny”) Carlyon won the sheep. The chocolates were won by Miss M. Pohl. The sheep was donated by Mr W. H. Davis. OBITUARY MR K. N. SAYWELL.
