Badminton

Faced With an almost impossible draw Victoria performed very creditably. Monday morning they drew 8-all with last year's winners, Otago, but lost 18-19 on games. Then on Monday afternoon they played eventual winners, Auckland, who had a bye that morning and were thus completely fresh. Undoubtedly this was not deliberate; however it was both stupid and unfair. Strong words, but this happened to Victoria last year too.

Victoria's top player. Lim Ee Chlat, was No. 1 for the NZU t am and playing with Gaynor Simpson came close to upsetting the top Auckland pair Richard Purser and Heather Robson in the mixed doubles section of the NZU match against Auckland. Also in the NZU team were Jane Mowatt as the women's No. 3 and Seow Bin Gay as a reserve.

Victoria beat Canterbury 11-5, Massey 15-1, lost to Auckland 5-11, Otago 8-8 (18-19).
