Playing Hockey
18 September 1911 was the third match of the
interstate series between New South Wales and Victoria. The New South Wales team had won the first two matches which clinched the series, however the second game left New South Wales captain Jim Kendall injured with a split shin bone after a blow to the leg during the hockey match.
Due to Kendall's injury rendering him unable to play and Dunbar Poole also absent for the final game, the New South Wales team was short of 2 players. A decision was made to complete the final game of the series with a composite team of Dark Blue and Light Blue teams made up of the Victoria and New South Wales teams and emergency back up players for the Victorian team. John Goodall, listed as a Victorian player, was named in the Dark Blue side. The final score was 6–3 in favor of the Dark Blue team.
