A friendly hockey match between the Medway and Suffolk played at King's Park on Saturday resulted in a draw of 2 goals all.
Tuttle in goal for the Suffolk played a splendid game and was re- sponsible for keeping the score down. Abbott, who played in the right back position, also did well to stop the fast and hard hitting Medway forwards from getting into his charge.
