The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1932

Senior B (A.)

Senior B (A.).

This team—also known as the "old men's team"—has toppled from its lofty pinnacle. So hard was the fall that by the end of the season the old "diehards" were becoming quite despondent. At one stage it looked as if the Senior B Championship would be easily annexed by this once brilliant team, but after its dramatic and totally unexpected defeat at the hands of one of the weakest teams in the competition, the team seemed to lose heart and its decline culminated in its being totally routed by the Huia team, which won the championship, the score on this particular occasion being 8—2 against the veterans.

In spite of its decline, however, this team has met with more success in the club matches than any other Victoria College team. It must also be remembered that some of the players comprised in this team have done a great deal to the furtherance of hockey in the College.
