Men's Hockey

Men's Hockey

On Saturday, 5th July, the Seniors fought their most Variant struggle of the season, against competition leaders, Huia (at Nae Nae). Both teams turned on amazingly good hockey despite a greasy ground and, both were unlucky not to score in the first half. Early in the second, half Varsity were weakened by the loss of Till (c. half), who received a cut over the eye. However play continued to range from goal to goal, and Huia managed to score a few minutes before time. On the whistle they won a penalty bully. This was certainly their biggest fright of the season.

Senior B notched a neat win against Huia II. K. Braithwaite, Orman and Ives made up Varsity's three goals. Score 3—2.

The Juniors broke a match winning series (level with Karori and Technical at the top of the competition), going down to Karori 2—3. We suspect that Parris's men were upset by the mud. Marwick and Horner were the scorers.

The Thirds were narrowly defeated by Wellington College Old Boys (0—1). Seeing W.C.O.B. have hardly been defeated, 'Varsity did well.

A fifth team (Junior) played Island Bay (friendly game), and were beaten 0—4. Altogether a bad day.

Last Saturday the Seniors, depleted by the loss of Stan Braithwaite (left for the Navy) and the absence of Shaw (injured), Till (injured) and Scott, went down 4/2 against Wellington. The play was far more even than the score would indicate.

Senior "B" lost to Karori, 4—3, land the Juniors to Karori, 4—1. (Wake up, Juniors).

The Junior Grade has been split into two divisions. We are in the First.

In the Thirds, the University I. team beat Karori 4—0 (a jolly fine effort).

No result of our new team, Thirds II.'s, effort is to hand.
