It is the intention of the Southland Ladies' Hockey Association, to create funds to enable a representative team to be sent north this season. This is the Best way of stimulating interest in the game here, and at the same time, improviug the standard of play by getting more experience against northern teams, and also inducing them to repay the visit next season.
