Massey Games
Massey Games
On Wednesday, May 28, a depleted First XV and a team composed of Senior B and junior players travelled to Palmerston North to play the First and Second Fifteens of Massey College. The first game resulted in a win for Massey II after a patchy game. In which the inability of Victoria to kick the easiest of penalty goals proved fatal, Massey winning 11-9.
The game between the First XV's was also patchy, as bad handling spoilt many movements. The forwards were evenly matched, but the superior speed and determination of the Victoria backs, plus some very good kicking by Greig, gave the visitors the victory by 14 points to five. For Victoria, Patterson and Roberts scored tries, one of which was converted by Greig who also kicked two penalty goals. Massey scored one converted try.
