Moresby Basketballers Who

Defeated Lae

This is the Port Moresby basket-ball team which visited Lae at Easter time and defeated the Lae girls in the two matches played. Back row (left to right): Gloria Fogwell, Marie Drewe, Betty Maple (reserve). Centre row: Joyce Martin, Pat Gordon (vice-captain), Mary Crowley. Front row: Muriel McGowan, Beth Woods (captain).

This was the first sporting event between Port Moresby and Lae since the war. The Lae girls will go to Port Moresby on the King’s Birth day week-end to play return matches. Men’s cricket and basket-ball teams from Lae, and teams of men and women golfers from Wau and Bulolo are also expected to visit Port Moresby during that holiday.
