The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review October 1905

Second Round

Second Round.

V. C. v. Wellington. Lost 2—1. Played in heavy rain. An evenly contested game.

V. C. v. United. Lost 1—0. A stubborn fight from start to finish. Wilde and Donovan almost equalized matters during the final stages of the game by a piece of good play which ended in the ball striking the goal-post.

V. C. v. Weslely. Won 3—1. Wilde (2) and Bee (1) were the scorers. Grundy figured prominently at half-back, while Dwyer and Eichelbaum showed sound defence.

V. C. v. Vivian. Won 3—2. Donovan, Wilde, and Willis scored for College. A change of tacties in the second spell enabled the forwards to equalize the score and ultimately to go one better than their opponents.

V. C. v. Thorndon. Lost 3—2. College played one man short. Goals were obtained by Bogle and Donovan. Bee and Niven put in very serviceable work.

V. C. v. Karori. Won 3—2. Donovan, Bee and McKenzie were the goal-shooters. The willing game played by Karori called forth sturdy play form the College team, more especially from Smith, Bee and Grundy.

V. C. v. Y.M.C.A. Lost 3—0. Our worst defeat. Ground slippery. College came within an ace off scoring on several occasions.

Record for Season—Won 8 matches, lost 6, drawn 1. Goals for, 32; goals against, 27.
