LTHOUGH they had much the better team and most of the play, St. Andrew's were held to a draw of 1-all by the "Y" Ladies in their Brawn Cup hockey fixture at King's Park yesterday.

Except for one or two isolated breakaways by Mrs. Williams and Miss Bradbury, inside-left and centre-forward respectively, “Y” were always on the defensive but thanks to some fine work on the part of Miss Bruce, in goal, who was sound if not spectacular, their citadel was kept intact.

Despite some misgivings a short were the outstanding players in the while ago, Miss Y.

Boolat Bay ran very well, although defeated by Harvest View, in the Shum Chun. Handicap (First Section) at the Eleventh Extra Race Meeting, and, as it appears to be in fine shape at the moment, I recommend it to win. King's Lead is also very fit. and under Mr. Needa it should do well.
