BHS Girls Hockey 1926
1926Photograph of the 1926 Bunbury High School Girls Hockey Team
The Kingia magazine listed the team members as: G. Smedley, G. Struthers, L. Kruger, G. Kruger, G. Caldwell, Teede, B. Lochardt, D. Kell (Captain), G. Annesley, E. Lochardt, E. Stevens and W. Delaney. With Elizabeth Burgess (sports Mistress) listed as the coach. .
There is not much opportunity for competition with other teams in any branch of sport, and the girls were sorry not to be able to make their annual trip to Perth, owing to the cancellation of the State Secondary Schools’ Sports Carnival. However, some outside matches have been played.
During the second term, a return visit was paid by members of the Lower School, to Collie, when matches were played in Hockey, Baseball and Tennis.
On their home ground, the Collie hockey team won their first victory over the B.H.S. girls, but only by the narrow margin of one goal, the winning goal being shot just before the end of the match.
At Baseball and Tennis the Collie girls were far superior, as was shown by the results of the matches, even although the tennis was interrupted by the rain.
But although the visit was not successful, it was most enjoyable, and the girls greatly appreciated the arrangements made to entertain them, both in the way of billeting and also the dance which was held on the Friday evening.
