The Spike or Victoria College Review 1940

Third B

Third B

With two wins and a narrow loss to the leading team at the beginning of the season, prospects appeared bright.

Unfortunately, mainly through a shortage of backs and disregard of training by those available, the standard deteriorated, and latterly the team did not meet with success. This fact did not, however, detract from the pleasure of the game.

The team was a happy family, and each member looked forward to, and enjoyed, his game every Saturday. The forwards were consistently good and strong, and most of them can expect to play in better company next season. The backs were patchy, but consistent training would have improved several. It would be invidious to single out for special mention any particular player, but a word of thanks is due to Vic. Woodcock for his loyalty and energy as captain.
