Match reports
2nd match
"There was a large attendance at the Glaciarium last evening for the second interstate ice-hockey match between New South Wales and Victoria. New South Wales won the first game on Monday, but were without the services last night of the captain and coach (Kendall), the goal keeper (Cairns) and a forward (Reid). Benefitting [sic] by the experience gained on Saturday, the Victorians played a more systematic and pacing game. First goal was scored by New South Wales but it was not gained until the game had been in progress for 10 minutes. A brilliant goal by C R Dyer evened the scores. Fast and clever play ended in a second goal for the visitors. The play by goalie Cairns was excellent and there was no more scoring before half-time. Third goal for New South Wales was gained 10 minutes after the term began and R Collins and E Molony scoring goals promptly, made the scores level. In the next 10 minutes the game was extremely fast. Two minutes before the game ended, Collins scored again for Victoria and their opponents made a desperate effort to respond. Very fast play followed, but the team work of the Victorians prevented scoring. The last stage of the game provided one of the best exhibitions of ice hockey seen in Melbourne for the last three seasons. Victoria won by four goals to three. The goal-hitters were: - Victoria - Dyer, Collins (2), Molony; New South Wales - Slade, Wells, Pike."

3rd match
"A large crowd assembled at the Glaciarium last night to witness the final ice hockey match between teams representing Victoria and New South Wales to decide the custody of the Goodall Cup for the ensuing year. Each team had previously won a game. The match opened brightly. Within five minutes, Collins netted two goals for Victoria. New South Wales then attacked, and despite stubborn resistance of Dow in goal, he was beaten three times. Victoria tried hard to equalize the scores, but failed. When the half-time bell rang, the visitors were leading by five goals to two. The second hold was notable for strenuous, fast, and even play. The final scores were: - New South Wales, 6 goals; Victoria, 2 goals. The final match in the women's interstate competition for the Gower Cup will be played to-night."
