The Spike: or, Victoria College Review October 1907

III. A

III. A.

Matches played, 13. Won 9, drawn 3, lost 1 (by protest). Goals: For, 73; Against, 13.

V.C. v Wellington. Won, 1—0. A most ridiculous game. We had our opponents defending almost without intermission, but could not score till, just on time, Fitt bustled the ball through.

V.C. v Vivan. Won, 15—0. The encouragement of the onlooking V. C. lady hockey enthusiasts urged our men to make a great effort. One or two of them did not score.

V.C. v United. Won, 9—1. The Capping Carnival of the night before did not seem to lesson our energy. Our forwards played with better combination than in any other match, and the inside forwards, Smith, Barnett, and Broad, shot very well. Monaghan played well at right half.

V.C. v Y.M.C.A. We scored 10 goals to our opponents' 2, but on a protest lost the match for playing unregistered players—Bogle Brothers, to wit.

V.C. v V.C. III. B. Won, 19—0. We had nine men against the B's eight.

Second Round.

V.C. v Thorndon A. Drawn, 3—3. A fast, even, and exciting game, in which numerous chances were lost on both sides.

V.C. v Thorndon B. Won, 4—2. The first spell was very even, but we had the better of the second. Macalister played well at bully, as did Hoult at full-back, and in the second spell Stuart and MacMorran were vigorous.

V.C. v Y.M.C.A. Won, 1—0. In the first minutes MacMorran scored the only goal of the match. Our backs played splendidly.

V.C. v Wesley. Won, 3—0. One sell only played, our opponents having only seven men.

Cup Tie Final.

V.C. v Thorndon A. Won, 2—0. A remarkably fast game. All our backs played excellently. Kibblewhite was perfection in stopping and hitting smartly and effectively. MacMorran and Monaghan were the best of the forwards; each scored a goal. A feature of the match was MacDougall's line-umpiring.
