The Spike or Victoria College Review October 1928

Junior—A

page 31

Junior—A.

This team forfeited whatever chance it may have had of winning a further championship for the club, when two matches in succession were lost at the commencement of the second round; but on the whole, the final result—third place in the grade—cannot be regarded as other than satisfactory. Bishop, Harris and Mills deservedly gained representative honours, and travelled to Nelson with the Junior Representatives.

All members of the team played well, though perhaps Bishop, a tireless worker in the forwards, and Robinson and Button in the backs, may be singled

The following played for the team during the season:—Wilson, Bishop. Harris, Nash (capt.), Franklin, Jackson, Jeffries, Robinson, Mills, Doig, Button (vice-capt.), Hogg, Foster, Petherick, Hughes.

Results of matches were as follows:—
  • v. Karori. Lost 1-4, and lost 0-4.
  • v. Huia. Drawn 2-2, and lost 3-4.
  • v. Wellington. Won 4-0, and won 3-1.
  • v. Petone. Won 3-1, and won 5-0.
  • v. Hutt. Won 7-2, and lost 2-3.
  • v. Wesley. Won 2-1.
  • v. Y.M.C.A. Won 13-1, and won by default.
  • v. Junior B. Won 7-3.
  • v. Senior B. Lost 3-6.
