HOCKEY Hockey is played in many districts between Maori Club, Tribal and district teams. In Rotorua and on the East Coast, many Maori teams, both men and women, are taking part in local weekly competitions and annual tournaments. In Rotorua men's teams are fielded by Reporoa, Matata and Ngapuna, and women's teams by Matata, Taiporutu, Ngapuna, Reporoa and Whaka. In Wellington, Toa, a Maori Women's Club, has played in the local hockey competitions for over twenty-five years. In the Bay of Plenty the Tawhiorangi Shield and Ruatoki Cup is competed for by teams of the Whanau-a-Apanui, Whakatohea, Tuhoe and Tuwharetoa. A dominion-wide Maori Hockey Organisation is now established, the last tournament being held in Hastings where many teams competed. The trophies contested for at this tournament were the Lady Arihia Ngata Memorial Gold Cup for Maori Women's Hockey, the Taranaki Te Ua Memorial Shield for men's teams and the Stringer Shield for women's hockey. In May, 1952, a large Maori hockey tournament is being held at Masterton.
