Men's Hockey

The VUC team in this sport gained second place, winning four of its five games and scoring £4 goals as against 3 netted by their opponents. Their record was wins against OU "B" 4-1, AUC 5-1, CUC 5-0 and MAC 10-0 and a loss to OU "A" 0-1.

The ground conditions were very sticky throughout the Tournament, and the game against OU "A" might very well have been won had the inside forwards been able to get moving in the mud. Also, these atrocious conditions made it very difficult to control the ball and many promising moves went astray because of this.

Most of the games presented little difficulties as the scores indicate and the defence was seldom fully extended. Murray. Humphries in goal played particularly well and only three times was he passed. Calkin and Beresford were selected to represent NZU against Otago.
