The girls' team of 1946 started off the season by defeating Media. The lassies won by so slight a margin that rooters held their breath and hoped that they would gain confidence, After tak- ing two losses, issued by Darby and Glen-Nor, the girls came back to defeat Nether Providence on the home court. Ridley Park came next and scored an overwhelming victory to make the mid-season count at 2 wins and 3 losses. When the Chester maids came strol- ling in, confident of taking the neighboring team they were dis- appointed to find themselves defeated by one point. Ridley Town- ship was the girls' only tie.
