BHS Girls Hockey Team 1939
1939Studio portrait of the Bunbury High School Girls Hockey Team.
HOCKEY XI. CRITIQUE
P. Knight (Capt.): A good, unselfish player, who plays a brilliant game as centre half-back. Uses her stick to advantage. As captain, has led her team very well.
A. Ryall (Vice-Capt.): Has played a good game in goals. Defended the team well in Perth on several occasions. Is inclined to let slow balls creep into goals whereas fast but dangerous ones are effectively stopped.
F. Burgess: A very reliable, fine back, with a very good clearing hit. Undercuts ball occasionally.
J. Ellis: A great asset to the team. Plays a good full-back game, and combines well with other full-back. Clears ball well down wing.
N. Barrett: Has improved greatly since last season. Shows determination in tackling her opponents. As right halfback she plays well with the wings.
M. Piggott: Has improved greatly, but still lacks a decisive hit. A useful player in the difficult left half-back position.
R. Forsyth: Is a rather erratic player though sometimes plays a very good game as left half-back.
D. Savory: A clever centre forward, who takes the ball down the field well, but does not follow in enough. Could use her wings more. Owing to sickness did not play up to her usual standard in Perth.
R. Struck: Right inner wing. Plays a good steady game, but does not shoot often enough. Scores some difficult goals.
E. Phillis: A very determined player, who puts every effort into the game. Is still inclined to get offside frequently and needs to develop a stronger hit.
A. Rowston: A good outer wing, though much practice is needed. Carries ball down wing speedily, but needs a better centering hit.
G. Washer: An experienced outer wing player, who possesses a good centering hit, but does not follow the ball in and shoot for goal herself.
