The Spike or Victoria College Review October 1929

B Team

B Team.

This team were to a man new to the game, and it says much for their keenness and attention to training that they finished third in the Championship. It was significant that of the few players who attended training in the Gym. on Tuesday nights, 80 per cent, were third grade players. The team may well be proud of their record in this their first season, and the Club is glad to see such talent in its lower grade teams. There will be no need to fear for the Club's future while these players are with us. The team was ably led by Stewart, who showed that he possesses qualities which will take him a long page 56 way in the game. At first he played centre-half, but for the last eight matches played centre-forward. In those eight games he scored 11 goals—a record to be proud of.
