Reports
"Victoria, winner of the 1954 Goodall Cup, will go for a 'clean sweep' of the series when it meets NSW in the final round at St Moritz tonight.
Victoria's over-all strength has overwhelmed the visiting side in the first two rounds, but NSW played improved hockey last Tuesday.
The game should be played at a 'cracker' pace because NSW is determined to break Victoria's winning run before it returns on Saturday.
Blue Mclauchlan will return to the State side for the final game after having been dropped from the second round of the series.
Brian Bagnell, NSW's defence man, who suffered a facial injury during training yesterday is expected to have recovered sufficiently to play tonight.
