The maleonly Kaiapoi Hockey Club in 1895 became the first registered New Zealand hockeyclub, thanks to the influenceofAnglican vicarRev Henry Mathias. As playing numbers were limited,young womenand girls frequentlymade up the numbers. So, the following year,the Hinemoa Ladies Hockey Club was established. The men’s club started strongly, winning the CanterburyHockey Association competition in 1898 and 1899. But hockeywas not the onlysport for men in town, competing againstrugby and laterrugby league, meaning in the period up to WorldWar 1the men frequently struggled to field asenior team after Rev Mathias left the town in 1900. Whilesurviving records of the men’s club are limited, the Hinemoa clubkept a detailedminutebook and journal of its activities,and therewere extensive newspaperreportsatthe time. The 1890s saw agrowing emancipation movement, with women havingbeen granted the vote in 1893 and the Women’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was particularly stronginKaiapoi.
