Soccer

A weak team with no reserves, facing strong opposition on heavy pitches ...... This was VUC's Soccer plight in the Winter Tournament at Dunedin. The Victoria team, comprised wholly of lower grade players, proved to be no match for the stronger combinations of the three other major colleges. The side lost to Otago 0-7, Canterbury 1-5 and Auckland 0-3. However, the side did develop more cohesion in each match and every player has gained valuable experience) which will help him in his Soccer career.

Although the team could not notch a victory, two of the side caught the eye of the NZU selectors and were chosen to represent NZU against an Otago side. They were Stan George and Doug Law. Both played well in this game and should be a valuable asset to the VUC team in Christchurch next year.
