Soccer Sometimes Win

Soccer Sometimes Win

Senior.—In their last two matches the team has shown considerable improvement. With Bruce Mackie and Ted Sinimonds playing inside right and inside left respectively, the forward line is working well. Ted has been the principal goal-getter. Mike Spiers at left half is playing excellent football and usually manages to get one past the goalkeeper with his powerful left foot. Results:—
  • v. Railways: lost 3-7.
  • v. Miramar Rangers: lost 2-6.
  • v. Petone Tech. OB: won 1-0.
  • v. Swifts: drew 3-3.

Second A and B.—Second A. despite being regularly short, have shown some creditable performances, their effort in beating Stop Out with only ten men being the most notable. Drummond is shaping well in goal, while Ingram, Edwards and Clement form a solid defence.

Second B have tried every combination and permutation they can think of, but as yet have not succeeded in winning a match. Reports are very rare, but it appears that Eric Hall is playing a good game.

Third.—At last the third forwards have got out of the rut and have begun scoring a few goals. Their recent efforts have been due largely to the excellent backing-up of the half line. Wilson and Ashrof have been mainly responsible for some of their good scoring efforts in the last few matches. Pat Giles keeps the debit end of the score well down. Results:

  • v. Seatoun: drew 2-2.
  • v. Rangers: drew 1-1.
  • v. Institute OB: lost 2-3.
  • v. Marist: won 2-1.
  • v. Petone Tech. OB: won 2-1.
  • v. Diamonds: won 9-1.
  • v. Rangers: won 7-2 (Friendly Match),
  • v. Soatoun: lost 3-5.

Winter Tournament.—Once again the Soccer Club is sending a strong team to Auckland to the second Winter Tournament. Again we hope to bring home the soccer honours to VUC. While the general standard of play in the other universities has improved our team, with this year's experience of senior football will be hard to beat. We are [unclear: eased] to see that Lincoln has entered a team this year.
