This year we entered a Senior A and a Senior B team in the Association Matches.
The Senior A team has met with varying success, showing at times unexpected brilliance.
The Senior B team has played much better this year and has been quite successful, especially as the team has been changed so many times during the year.
Practices this year have been held in our own Gym., since it was hoped that it would be more convenient for players, but the attendance has been far from satisfactory.
One of our players, Miss Lancaster, is in the Wellington Senior B representative team which will take part in the annual tournament at Rotorua.
Under the able coaching of Miss P. Quinlan, the Tournament team, after numerous keen practices were well up to standard by the time Easter arrived. V.U.C. beat Canterbury and Otago, but lost to the Auckland team. Six of our A team were awarded V.U.C. Blues, Miss J. Grainger having the added distinction of a New Zealand University Blue.
