BASKET-BALL

Basketball this season commenced with our annual match against the Old Girls at which we were - the hostesses. This game always proves invaluable as it prepares the new teams for Inter-School competition.

This year the teams were composed main- ly of Sixth and Third Formers which pro- vided a combination of long experience and E. c., rv B. new vigour. The "new vigour" soon became ' familiar with the cries of "curve your fingers", "back on your ·heels" and "close to her" and as a result of Mrs. Rorke's un- tiring coaching, both A and B teams won their premiership. The final matches, held on our lower court, were played against St. Peter's in the A and State Commercial High School in the B, and we were very pleased to see the School taking such an interest .in the game. For the first time in the record of Inter-Form Basketball, III B went from success to success and, scattering the seasoned Sixths in all directions, won the shield with flying colours.
