Victoria's record in Tournament has not been particularly good recently (though two years ago it managed second equal), but last year the team gained the distinction of carrying off the wooden spoon! with the inclusion of five new players it is expected that the team will come through this Tournament with a better record than last year.
The recent match against Massey gives an indication of the improvement in the side. Vic held a strong Massey team to a 3-3 draw.
The Australian Universities team, which is competing to the Tournament after a short South Island tour, should provide added incentive to Tournament competition.
The climax will be the NZU v. Australian Universities match to be held on the Thursday (August 17) Last year Victoria managed two representatives in the NZU team and one of these players, Helen Tilley (goalkeeper) is available for re-selection.
