The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1910

Ladies' Hockey Club

Ladies' Hockey Club.

Another successful season has drawn to a close. The First Eleven have for the third consecutive time carred off the Senior Championship and have, therefore, won the Challenge Cup outright. The Second Eleven have surpassed all expectations, having finished the season as runners-up for the Senior Championship. They have more than justified promotion to senior company.

The success achieved by the two teams during the past season ought to result in even greater enthusiasm being shown next year. Let us hope that we shall have a much larger membership and that women students will realise page 58 what immense benefits are to be gained from participation in what is now one of the great winter games of the Dominion.

Results of Matches.

First Eleven.

v. Petone (first round). Won by 2 to 1. Misses Kerslake and McIntosh scored. This match was played at Petone in wha was literally a sea of mud. Ball often indistinguishable. The College team were without the services of a goalkeeper, but Miss Scott filled two positions most pluckity.

v. Campbell Street Old Gils. Lost by 3 to nil. A return match played at palmerston North on the 9th July. College were without at Palmerstone North on the 9th July. College were without the services of misses Scott and Tavendale. The team were not at home on the uneven ground, and did not succeed in scoring. However, they enjoyed their visit immensely, and were entertained royally by their hostesses.

v. St. John's Won by default.

v. Ohaken. Won by 4 to 3. An extremely enjoyable game played under perfect conditions. Miss Scott played a brilliant game at full back. Owing to Miss Tavendale's absence from wellington, miss i. Johnston filled the position of right wing and acquitted herself very creditably. Scorers fot College were misses Shepherd (2), Bisset and McIntosh.

v. Hinemoa. Won by 2 to 1. Misses Kerslake and Mcintosh scered. The hot weather interfered with fast play, and appeared to affect both teams. Though College made many efforts to score, they were not rewarded until well on in the first spell. Half-way through the second spell Hinemoa secred, and Miss Kerslake thereupon took the ball up the field and scored the winning goal for college.
