Men's Hockey

All members of this year's tournament team led by club captain, Robin Kendrick, play in the local senior or senior reserve grades. They have a nucleus of experience: Seven of the team being members of last year's "winning" tournament team and this year members of the varsity senior team.

Victoria teams in Saturday competitions fill either first or second places in all grades in which they play. This indicates the depth of ability and potential throughout the club which was reflected the other week when members of the tournament team, playing together for the first time, were untroubled to beat Massey University four goals to nil.

Members of the team are doing extra work towards improving physical fitness and a further pretournament match against the Horowhenua representative team ought to assist in ironing out faults. This could well be one of the best balanced tournament teams Victoria hockey has fielded for some years.
