Report of a match on Thursday 26th November between Poole & Bournemouth Hockey Clubs v. Dorchester, played at Poole.

Poole & Bournemouth team were: Bartlett, Church, Myers, Blanchard, Ratlok(?), Beale, Hope, Roe, Briggs, Andrew, Breanand

Final score was Poole & Bournemouth 4-3.

The umpire, Ms. Burden, from Poole; disallowed two goals as being shot outside the circle(!).

This is very early for a women to know the rules?

Was there a women’s side playing at the same time as the men?
