Teams' Progression

Teams' Progression

Not only in the inter-College sphere has entertaining rugby been played. The senior XV has maintained its consistent record and enters the Jubilee Cup competition at the top of the ladder, one point ahead of Athletic.

From now on the pace will indeed be "on." but the seniors look with confidence to the end of season function, when they, along with the rest of the club, have every hope of receiving the coveted Jubilee Cup.

Senior B. in its position of 10th equal out of 15 teams, has, perhaps, given up hopes of gaining the Harper-Lock Shield, but at the same time looks forward to a series of wins from now on.

Plodding along steadily, both Junior teams have enjoyed their Saturday canter, the A's still being in a fairly dangerous position to the championship leaders, the B's standing 10th out of 14 teams.

The club's brightest prospects of championship honours, outside of Senior A. lie with the Third 1st and 2nd Division aides. Placed 3rd and 4th equal in their respective grades, both 3A and 3B have worked up into strong combinations. The keenness of the tram members is shown by their excellent attendance at practices even under the worst of conditions. 3B was recently alarmed at persistent rumours that one prominent member was considering giving up his rugby to commence training for a less vigorous summer sport but If is understood that the rumours were entirely false.

And what of the seventh XV? Well, Third C may not have met with great success but they have given their opponents some excellent games and are improving their individual play each week. More regular attendance at practices by some members might just turn the scales in the team's favour in future games.

VUC's position in overall Club Championship: 7th out of 31 clubs.

In the first match of the Jubilee Cup series the 1st XV defeated Petone 15-9.
