Matches played, 11. Won 3 (1 by default), lost 7, drawn 1. Goals : For, 36; Against, 57.
V.C. v Karori. Lost, 11—5. Defence of both teams very weak. Our forwards were brilliant at times. The stopping of our backs and their hitting were not of a high order.
V.C. v Vivian. Won 8—2. The forwards were in great form. The backs had little to do, especially in the second spell, when we were attacking continuously.
Second Round.
V.C. v Karori. Lost, 9—2. A fast hard game. We were beaten by a superior team.
V.C. v Wellington. Lost, 4—3. Another fast game, in which we had the better of the play, but did not win, through the marked inability of the forwards to shoot. The backs played capitally.
V.C. v United. Lost, 7—0. Ground a quagmire. We were attacking as often as our opponents, but-the score speaks for itself.
V.C. v Vivan. Won, 8—3. Our team actually displayed combination.
Third Round.
V.C. v Vivan. Lost, 8—5. We reserved our energy till towards the end of the game, and then woke up—too late,
V.C. v Wellington. Won by default.
