The Senior "A" team drew a bye on Saturday, but gained two points through Training College defaulting the hold-over first round game. At the end of the round Victoria was third with eight points, the leaders being Wellington East Old Girls and Kia Ora with eleven points each. The V.U.C. nine are expected to beat the leaders in the second round—at least, that is the currant "down-town" opinion.
Against the strong Kia Ora combination the Senior "B" team gave by far its best display of the season. With their first victory yet to be registered the team was hardly expected to run a leading team to 21/18. The experience of Joy Osborn is telling in the forwards, and we look towards the second nine to register some points in the next few games.
