Hockey Club

In the 1928 season the Hockey Club has at last come into its own. The Senior A. team has won their championship for the first time since 1913. The Senior B. team is also at the head of its competition—for the first time since this grade was instituted. But not only is credit due to our two senior teams; the Junior A. team has finished third, and the Junior B. sixth in the Junior compettiion. The Third, consisting mainly of new players, did very well towards the end of the season.

The actual strength of the Club may be gauged by the fact that for the first time since its inception we have won the Club Championship. Not only are the individual teams to be congratulated for the fine performances they have put up and for the standard of their play, but the Club, as a whole, must also be congratulated for the enthusiasm and fine sporting spirit that has prevailed throughout the season.

On the social side, the supporters of the Club, and other students, were invited to the annual dance which was held at the end of June. Needless to say, the dance was a success and many attended—to the great profit of the Club. Later in the year we hope to hold our annual hockey dinner.

Although the Senior A. team has had no matches away from Wellington, the Senior B. team has filled its place. This team travelled to Wanganui.
