Badminton

Cautiously optimistic describes the Victoria Badminton Club's attitude to its prospects at Winter Tournament. Captained by Lim Ee Cliat, a leading NZU player, the team fields more new players than old and hence lacks the team work which could prove vital. Jocelyn Trewby is the other member of last year's team whose experience should prove valuable. Particularly missed is Jane Mowat. There are, however, hopes that Janet Miles will compensate for Jane's absence from the No. 1 position.

Otago University is considered one of the toughest opponents since its team is virtually unchanged from last year. The outcome of the contest will probably depend on the success of Victoria's doubles combinations.

The team will be: Lim Ee Cliat, Seow Bin Gay, Gorn Leong Huat, Richard Bently, Bruce Hearn (men's division) and Janet Miles, Jocelyn Trewby, Rangi Ponia, Christine Marsh and Wendy Hassex (women's division).
