That Feminine Touch

Hockey Writer

The hockey season is now well under way and Victoria has again entered two teams in the senior women's competition.

One team is in the 1st Grade and the other in the 2nd Grade.

Last year, placings were 5th and 3rd in these grades, respectively.

With Winter Tournament in Wellington this year, two teams of a good standard are required.

To achieve this, two coaches have been appointed.

Mr John Scott, a Senior Men's Hockey player is coaching the A team, and Mrs. V. Bogle, last year's coach, is in charge of the B team.

The loss of seven of last year's 1st Grade players has caused a major team reshuffle.

It is hoped that the completely new combination settles down quickly.

The A team players to return are Janette McKay, a Wellington "B" representative last year, Margaret Henderson, Alison McNeill-Adams, and Caroline Auret.

Several of 1967's B team have returned. A number of 1st Year students also comprise the team, Sandra McColl, and ex-Taranaki representative, being one asset.

This year's enthusiastic approach to the game and the promising appearance of the teams should ensure that achievements are improved.
