The Spike: or, Victoria College Review October 1907

Second Eleven

Second Eleven.

V.C. v Kiwi II. Lost, 3—9. Played at Petone on a very wet ground. Miss Dale played well in goal, and Miss Hewetson was a great acquisition as full-back.

V.C. v St. John's II. Won 2—1. Four of the regular team were unable to play, but Miss Great cast aside mathematics and played brilliantly. Score might have been bigger if less attention had been paid to the Kiwi match.

V.C. v Girl's College B. Ground changed from Hutt to Miramar. V. C. went to Miramar, they to the Hutt. Our team short-handed and weary.

V.C. v Wellington II. Lost 6—1. Five of team. Miss MacKellar scored first goal. Score was 1 all at the end the first spell, but the odds were too great, and we stood and watched them score.

V.C. v Girls' College B. Lost 1—0. We were 9 against 10, and made a good fight. No score till just before the whistle blew. The ground was very slippery, though not quite at its worst. Our girls must learn to wear short skirts.

V.C. v Huia A. won 1—0. Miss Renner scored. A mid-week practice had greatly improved our form. F. Cooke played a good game.

V.C. v Girls' College A. Lost 5—1. Very hot. Our halves too tired to keep their places.

V.C. v Wellington. Won by default. Eight of us and seven of them played a practice match.

V.C. v Kiwi. Lost, 6—0. Played one short. Miss Renner and Miss Robson made some good but ineffectual rushes.

V.C. v St. John's. Lost, 6—2. Miss Hilderth and Miss Renner scored. "Von." Barracked and gave us hints. We sang capping songs, especially "Bridget."
