Women'S Hockey

This year the V.U.C. Women's Hockey Club has been on the upgrade. For the last two years, there has been considerable lack of interest in the Club, but this year, under the capable and enthusiastic captainship of Daisy Filmer, the Club has shown something of its old vigour. At the beginning of the season, the shortage of old members of the Club made it impossible to enter a team for the N.Z.U. Hockey Tournament.

A systematic drive for new players was made, with gratifying results, and half way through the second term, another team was entered in the Wellington Association Competitions, this meaning that V.U.C. had two women's hockey teams for the first time in three years. The successes of the teams, although not numerous, have been most encouraging, and the standard of play is undoubtedly rising. With a little more practice together, the Senior team should manage to regain Senior A Grade next year. The Junior team, though lacking in experience as yet, makes up for skill with an enthusiasm which portends greater things in the future.
