VUC Women's Hockey

This August we are sending a stronger team to Tournament than for several years and therefore have high hopes. The following is the team:—

Jo Francis—left wing; playing good hockey this season.
Bice Young—left inner; captain; makes excellent openings for the forwards; VUC Blue 1948. Reserve NZU team 1948.
Jean McKelvie—centre-forward; needs more experience but should develop well.
Hilary Spencer—right inner, whose previous experience is of great benefit to the team and we hope she will score freely at Tournament.
Janet Young—right wing; is improving as she gains confidence.
Barbara Hill—left half; selected for 1949 A grade rep. trials. Is using her speed to advantage in her new position.
Thora Manvick—centre-half; 1948 Wellington A grade second rep. team and rep. trialist this year.
Margot Spiers—left back; VUC Blue 1948. She wins through from impossible situations.
Pat Barr—right back and a keen player.
Jane Florence—goalkeeper; picked for senior reserve trials.
Ivy Hoe—useful player at either half or back.
Isia Ashton—1949 senior rep. team. Very consistent.
Betty Stern—promising reserve player and may be the find of the Tournament team.
