NGARUAWAHIA OLD GIRLS’ HOCKEY

18th June, 1980
The second round of women's hockey got under way at
Innes Common on Saturday with two local teams,
Ngaruawahia Old Girls “A” and Ngaruawahia High
School “A” meeting for the second time in two weeks.
The Old Girls’ team endorsed their first round win
by playing a competitive but highly spirited game which
resulted in a score of 6-1. The Old Girls’ goals were
netted by M. Jeram, K. Plummer, J. Stirling and S.
Kearney.
The Old Girls “B” team played a very hard game to
be narrowly beaten by Glenview 2-1. K. Turton scored
the team’s goal.
