Women's Hockey

With no coach and only three players remaining from last year, the 1966 season did not look very promising for women's hockey. However, an excellent coach,. Mrs. V. Bogle, has been found and several players have made their debut for Victoria.

After a scrappy start, the team has gradually established itself as strong, balanced and enthusiastic, and is now lying fourth in local competition.

The improvement of the defence, and the efficient support in the halves, led by Marion McNeill-Adams, has given the able forwards every chance to show their strength. This was confirmed when the team defeated Massey 7-1 and then followed up by defeating the runners-up of the competition. The second team is notable for its enthusiasm and will be a great asset to the club in 1967.

The hopes of the tournament team are high—for the team has four Wellington trialists lists and captain Esmee Neal is a Wellington rep.

Victoria has the ability to win the tournament if past performances can be relied on.
