The Spike or Victoria College Review October 1928
Senior—B
Senior—B.
In spite of the fact that the past season was only the second in which a team had been entered in this grade, the Senior "B" team was successful in winning the Championship.
There were eight teams in the grade, and of the fourteen games played the first nine were won, the tenth lost by one goal, the eleventh drawn, and the last three won. Forty-eight goals were scored by the team, while only 13 were scored against it. This is the lowest number of goals scored against any team in the Senior "A" or "B" Grades, and speaks well for the defensive work of the team.
The regular players were as follows: Forwards.—Priestley, Bailey, Wale-ran, MacDuff (vice-capt.), Macdonald and Read. Halves.—Bollard, Hain (Captain), and Plank. Full-backs.—Vietmeyer and Lucas. Goal-keeper.—Stafford.
- v. Petone. Won 8-1, and 3-0.
- v. Training College. Won by default, and 3-1.
- v. Hutt. Won 2-0, and lost 1-2.
- v. Wesley. Won 5-2, and drawn 1-1.
- v. Karori. Won 3-2, and 3-1.
- v. Y.M.C.A. Won 5-1, and 10-0.
- v. Huia. Won 2-1, and 2-1.
The team also, on 4th June, played a match against a team comprised of members of the teams of the visiting University players who were not in the N.Z. University team, and were defeated by a formidable combination by only one goal. Further, on 18th August, the team travelled to Wanganui to play a match with the Wanganui representative hockey team, the result been a win for the home team by 3 goals to 2. A return match was played in Wellington on 14th September, and this was won by the Senior "B" team by 2 goals to 1.
