    Athletics. An(.)ther .\ssocialion was added to the dst of Schools .Athletic Associations during the namely, the Cohvyn P>ay and .Abergele .Association. 'The Denbighshire Secondary Schools Association en- joyed the most successful season since its inception. The County C'hampionshii)s, held at Wrexham, provided new records and an im])roved all-round standard, and the County team was second in the whole of Wales at the Inter-County Cham])ioMshi])s at Bangor. Association Football. * 'The game continues to be the major game of all the boys’ schools, and 33 schools took part in the leagues activit- ies, which are arranged on a secondary and ])rimary basis. The season was notable for the amazing success of Wrex- ham & District Schoolbovs XL Cricket. Unlike association football, which has no competitor, cricket must compete against the claims of athletics and swimming and this fact, coupled with the shortness of the Summer term and poor playing facilities, provides a reason why this game is not so extensively played in schools. Net-ball. The number of schools playing net-ball as a match game has increased this year. A beginners’ section was introduced in the area tournaments at Wrexham, and four additional schools took part. Hockey. In the main this activity is conlined to our Grammar Schools, owing to lack of ])laying field accommodation. Aber- gele Afodern School now has suitable facilities and it is hoped that hockey will soon become a recognised schools activitv for the girls.
