Victory for Victoria at Uni Games
Saturday, April 22nd, 2006
The New Zealand University Games Shield will get to stay in Wellington tonight after Victoria University was announced the overall winner of this major multi-sporting event at last night’s closing ceremony at Queen’s Wharf.
Victoria, who last won the Shield in 2000, were clear winners of the event and earned the right to take the 83-year-old Shield away from 2005 winners, Auckland University of Technology.
Professor Pat Walsh, Vice-Chancellor of Victoria, says he is extremely proud of the Victoria team.
“This win confirms the strength of the dynamic sporting and cultural student life here at Victoria. I am really thrilled that our students have won the University Games, especially after the great week we’ve had hosting the event. I welcome the Shield back to Wellington and look forward to supporting our students to defend the title next year.â€
