Congratulations VUC for coming first equal with OU and CUC. It was unfortunate that VUC played OU in the first game as OU had been able to practise on the Wentworth Courts and so had an advantage over VUC. However, VUC played well and their passing was definitely superior to that of OU. At the end of the first quarter the score was 11-2 in OU's favour. The final result was 31-27. If the game had lasted a little longer VUC would have won, as they were really playing well and their combination had OU really baffled. The whole team played very well and it was not surprising that they won every other game they played, As for the B-Ball Cup, this on the suggestion of VUC went to OU as they had never yet held it. This remains with OU for a year when VUC hopes to regain it.

Congratulations to Noel Hayman on being presented with a B-Ball Blue.
