Canterbury v. Victoria

Canterbury v. Victoria

Canterbury College Senior B v. Victoria Senior B.—Last Sunday morning Victoria girls were up bright and early to meet their visitors at the wharf and see them billeted. In the afternoon a party explored, the Corlnthlc and came up to Varsity where they were given tea and escorted to the pictures. On Monday afternoon the two teams took the field at Newtown Park, and Canterbury reversed the usual order of the victor of this fixture by winning 2-1. The play was fairly even, Canterbury having the edge slightly on Victoria through their stronger hitting. Pat Young, backed by Isla Ashton, made, many breakaways down the left line-out and good defensive work by E. Anderson (Canterbury) stopped many of the movements from reaching the circle. The Canterbury team expressed their apperciation of the way in which they had been entertained and sailed away on the 7.45 ferry.
