The First XI Boys' Hockey Team travelled to Christchurch to compete in the Worner Shield. Having already played Whangarei and Westlake during Term 2, they started the trip against a strong Christchurch Boys' High School team after a long delay and tricky landing at Christchurch airport in the fog. St Paul's struggled to stem the flow of goals against them but managed two goals, losing 7-2.

The next day the team played Christ's College early in the morning. The game was an even tussle locked at 1-1 until late in the third quarter when Christ's took the lead 2-1. A tired fourth quarter by St Paul's saw Christ's take a 4-1 win on the final whistle. In the final game against St Bede's, another decent performance from St Paul's meant the game was competitive. However, with a turn late in the game, St Bede's took the win 5-1. While the results weren't what the team looked for, the performances were pleasing against strong teams.
