Standing: P McKenna, G Smedley, H Withers, Elizabeth Burgess, J Struthers, D Carroll, M Kealy
Sitting: B Lockhart, D Kell, J Caldwell, E Cross (Captain), E Steven, C Lugg, C McGeary
Absent: J Muir
C. Lugg. A fairly sure goal-keeper, but not enterprising enough in leaving but not enterprising enough in leaving the goals.
J. Caldwell Full back. A strong tackler and keeps well up the field. Has a tendency to hit across her own goals.
D. Carroll Full back. Hits well but is liable to give sticks. Somewhat slow in tackling but has improved.
D. Kell. Plays equally well as full or half-back. Has most of the requisites of a first-class player—speed and strength in tackling and hitting.
E. Cross Captain. As centre-half has been a tower of strength to the team as captain; has always exercised good control and leadership. Worthy of a place in any team.
H. Withers Half-back. A reliable defender. Occasionally tackles opponents on wrong side; stops the ball instead of hitting it in motion.
J. Struthers Half-back. Has improved but is too much inclined to fall back too much on her own goals. Not as active in the field as she might be.
P. McKenna. Extremely fast and can out sprint most opponents. Has had little experience but will unquestionably become a first-class player. Does not always get rid of the ball at the most favourable time.
E. Steven. An improved player. Hitting only fair owing to crouching over the ball. A tenacious tackler.
G. Smedley. Plays a very good game as inside right. Possessed of speed and accuracy, but does not get rid of ball to the best advantage.
J. Muir. Very quick to use opportunities of scoring in inside left position. With greater coolness and less anxiety to score goals would be a better player.
M. Kealy Centre forward. Is very fast and has scored freely throughout the season. Still handicapped by a wrong grip, the hands being held too far apart for long hitting.
C. McGeary. Has improved but needs more practice. Passes accurately and unselfishly.
B. Lockhart. Plays a sound half-back game, but inclined to fall back on her own goals.
