Victoria's Tourney Performance Only Mediocre
Victoria's Tourney Performance Only Mediocre
An Improvement on last year, Winter Tournament performance was still only a good mediocre. In only one sport did Vic emerge clearly victorious.
That was badminton. The other red ribbon placing was in soccer, where we tied for first place with Otago.
There were still some fine individual performances by Victorian sportsmen. With only one exception Victoria was represented in all NZU teams.
The exception was Women's Hockey. In other sports Victoria was well represented, but in none as well as Badminton, in which four of the eight members were from Victoria.
Among those who wore the green and gold colours with distinction were Lim Ee Chiat, Greta Firth, Rodney Baltrop, Teresa Lawes and Richard Hawkes.
Lim Ee Chiat was the top individual Badminton player. He won his fourth consecutive NZU blue.
Greta Firth won 15 of her 16 fencing bouts and captained the NZU Ladles Fencing team.
On a strange course Rodney Baltrop won Tournament Golf's individual stroke play and chipped well to hold second place in the NZU Match Play Championship.
Teresa Lawes and Richard Hawkes both won individual titles in squash.
Final overall placings were:
