Miss Hall, in the Mainland goal, was given a good deal more to do than Mrs. Lunson and was

the eye. She sequently more in showed fine judgment in leaving her goal and she dealt with hard drives coolly.

Miss White and Mrs. Wilmot were. a fine pair of backs, the former's confident first-time clearances and the latter's great spoiling relieving many anxious situations, Miss Gray. and Mrs. Strange, for Island, were also well in the picture, the former's her in great experience standing excellent stead.

hor Mrs. Strange gave

finest display as a back to date and hardly made a mistake.

Miss McCaw and Miss Woolley in- gave adequate displays in the termediate-line but Miss Wong had another off-day. Their opposite num- bers were much .better balanced. Miss Pocock's speed, keen tackling

Stone's powerful clearances and Miss Greaves' persistence and accurate reverse stick- work making this trio most difficult to pass.

FORWARDS SCRAPPY

Play by both sets of forwards was inclined to be scrappy and individual play was the order rather than the exception, Finest forward on view was Mrs. Gardner, who was especi- ally good in the second half, while Mrs. Burnett made some nice runs in the first half but still showed her old shortcoming of delaying her cen- tres too long.

Miss Marr was too well watched to be effective and Mrs. Strange had her well taped throughout. Of the others, Miss Purvis made some thrilling runs on the Island left wing the and scored the finest goal of afternoon and Miss Harker and Miss McCaw tried hard to keep the ball moving.

There was

until 10 no scoring minutes before the end when Miss Purvis made br spectacular run on the left wing, cut in and beat Miss Hall with a beautiful shot into the left hand corner.

A few minutes later, Island hopes of Miss victory were dampened when Reid, following up a shot which Mrs. Lunson only partially cleared, netted,,

similar Tk. same player scored a shot a few moments later to give Mainland a surprise win.
