The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1929

[Review of the activities of the men's hockey club]

The Club this year promises to have an extremely successful season. Most of last year's players enrolled again this season, and so many new recruits joined the Club that we were able to enter six teams in the Competition, which represents a record for the Club. Two Senior A teams have been entered, and at the time of writing the First VI. is leading in the grade, being unbeaten. The other Senior A team, though not so successful, has justified the action of the Committee in entering it in the Senior A Grade, by showing itself to be well up to the necessary standard. The Senior B team, most of the members of which played Junior last year, have so far not met with much success, but have won both the last two matches played. They have showed excellent form in the field, but poor shooting has caused the loss of the first four matches.

The Junior team is performing well, and are more than holding their own in their grade. After a bad defeat at the hands of Huia, they have improved out of sight, and in each game they show better form. In the Third Grade we have been able to enter two teams. The A team met Karori in the first match and were beaten 10—0. Since then, they have done better, and have won two matches. The Third B team, composed almost wholly of men who have never played before, has shown much promise, and is looking forward to meeting (and beating) the A team, at the end of the first round.
