Yesterday's two crucial games in the Ladies' Hockey League provided thrills galore as expected, both ending in a one-goal margin of victory for the winners.
Hitherto unbeaten King George V "A" team sustained their first defeat at Sookunpoo at the hands of the Victorians, going down by two goals to one, and at Recreio, the Portuguese ladies, repeated their one-goal triumph over the Gremlins "A."

There was jubilation in the St Joseph's camp, for after breezing through with a 9-0 shutout over St Teresa's, the Madcap triumph gave them a new lease on playoff chances.
The Canucks completely routed the Reds as they whitewashed the opposition 14-0, while Overseas, who started off shakily in the curtain raiser, fought right back to register a 13-4 victory over the Dodgers.
