"Y" LADIES' HOPES FOR RETENTION OF PEARCE CUP DIMMED

SCOTLAND SHOULD

BEAT GERMANY

LOCAL INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY SERIES

BOTH SIDES PRACTICALLY

AT FULL STRENGTH

THE Interport hockey match against Macau

having been unsuccessfully contested, the Association is settling down to the local interna- tional tournament, the First Round of which takes place next Thursday when four matches! will be decided.

India, the holders and favourites for this year's series, are likely to enter the semi-final round with a walk-over as the China team has not yet been formed and, with no representative in charge. their chances of appearing on Thursday are very remote.

THE "Y" Ladies, holders of the Pearce Seven-a- Side Hockey trophy, will be seriously affect- ed by the departure for England to-morrow of Miss Joyce Adey, their brilliant inside-left, and with Mrs. Henry away from the Colony and Mrs. Brown unavailable, their chances of retaining the trophy against the challenge of the St. An- drew's Ladies in the Semi-Final Round next Sun- day morning are not very bright.

The Central British Association Ladies have by far the best- team at present, and their chances of securing the "double" - they won the Caer Clark Cup are very good. They should ex- perience no difficulty in disposing of the Hong Kong Ladies' "B" team on Sunday morning.

In the Semi-Final Round of the Knill Cup, the Junior Seven- A-Side Tournament, the Diocesan Girls School should win com-

fortably against the Central British School, while the C.BA Ladies should dispose of the "Y" Ladies.
