The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1933

Senior A

Senior A.

Under the Union's new classification the First Fifteen was placed in the Second Division of the Senior A Grade. The team began well, but unfortunately three of its best men were required for the University Test matches with the Australian Universities, and injuries took further toll jusr when the team seemed certain to gain promotion to the First Division, the consequence was that two vital matches were not won, and in the ballot which followed to decide which team was to go up, University were not selected. Since then, however, the team has performed very well, with only one lapse against Poneke, and has won most games by wide margins. With the second round completed University and Poneke are level at the head of the Second Division Championship. Under the captaincy of Roy Deiderich, and with Mr. F. Glasgow as coach, the players have trained well, and thoroughly deserve their successes. Mention must be made of the services of Mr. Roy Brien who has acted as masseur to the team during the season, and both he and Mr. Glasgow can rest assured that their services have been appreciated.

The following have played for the team during the season. Backs: Cormack, McKenzie, Ruru, Feltham, Hislop, Dickinson, Kane, Thurston, Wild, Pacey, Macauley; Forwards; Ongley, Claris, Deck, Eade, Sutherland, Reid, Blacker, Dixon, Wells, Deiderich, Edwards; whilst Carey, Paul, Edgar, Russell and Bland-ford each played in one game.

To date, twelve games have been won, two lost and two drawn.
