1st match
"An interstate ice sports carnival was opened at the Glaciarium last night. There was a large attendance and the hockey match between New South Wales and Victoria provided good sport. The teams were as follow: New South Wales - J Pike (captain), L. Reid, J Kendall, T Gibson, C Kerr, and K Poulton. Victoria:- G Langridge (captain), J Goodall, R Marks, L W Roche, M Harris, V Langsford. Referee: N Joseph. New South Wales won easily by six goals to one. The Victorian team, weakened by the absence of three of its members owing to influenza, lacked the combination of the opposition and were plainly at a loss how to deal with Kendall, the star performer of the match, who scored three goals for New South Wales. Pike (NSW) also showed out well, scoring two goals. Poulton (NSW) also played well. Langsford scored for the visitors..."
