Massey v. Victoria
Massey v. Victoria
This annual inter-college game, played at Kilbirnie on Wednesday 23rd August, was won by Victoria 11-9. after a somewhat scrappy game.
Handling among both backs and for. wards was not good, but the tackling of the whole team was really excellent. The forwards as usual were too loose, but appeared to work quite well in the set scrums from which Kurtevich was able to secure about seventy per cent of the ball.
Of the backs Berry played a fine game and made a good opening for Brian's try. Loveridge made two magnificent runs from half-way, scoring from one and paving the way for Barraclough's try from the other. Brian played well at centre and Blake-ley at full-back. Dobson was probably the best forward, Kurtevich hooked very well and played a good game in other respects and Cornick also gave an excellent performance. Benseman was outstanding in the lines-out and played a good all-round game.
Tries were scored for Victoria by Loveridge, Brian and Barra-clough and Te Punga converted one. Massey's points came from a try and two penalty goals.
