The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1931

Junior B

Junior B.

As far as results are concerned, this team had a very poor season, winning only two games, and finishing at or near the bottom (the exact situation is immaterial) of the competition, with 21 points. One of the chief factors in this lack of success was the promotion of several players to the Junior A eleven, including both of the regular wicket-keepers. The main fault, however, lay in the batting, which was most inconsistent, probably because very few members of the team attended regularly at the nets. Moore and Rae were the mainstays of the batting, the former concluding the season with a century, and the latter having the highest aggregate. Other century-makers were R. Osborn (promoted to Junior A) and J. Buddle, who played in two games only. The best bowlers were Francis and Mortimer, but unfortunately, they were absent from several games. The fielding was, on the whole, quite good, Wild and Duncan being especially prominent.
