Contemporary accounts
1st match
"The second [first] annual interstate ice hockey match between New South Wales and Victoria was played last night at the Glaciarium, and was won by New South Wales by 5 goals to 2. The teams were as follows:- New South Wales: Goal, C Drakin; point, L Turnbull, cover-point, E.J. Kendall; right wing, J Pike; center F Rowe; left wing, W Knowles. Victoria: Goal, M Haig; point D Woods; cover-point, A Reid; right wing, K Walker; center, H Reid; left wing, L Reid. The local team did not show anything like the same machine-like concerted action as the Victorians, but were individually brilliant. What they had o do they did well, and it was this individual brilliancy that won them the match. At half-time the scores were 4 to 1 in favour of the home team. On returning Kendall again scored, but shortly afterwards the Victorians added to their score, making the total 5 to 2 in favour of the home team. The score was unaltered at the call of time."

Final match
"The third and final ice hockey match of the series which is annually played between Victoria and New South Wales was decided at the Glaciarium last night in the presence of a large number of interested and enthusiastic spectators. The game was faster and a trifle more rugged than was the case in the two preceding matches, but the local team had all the better of the game, and at half-time were leading by three goals to nil. In the second half the Victorians scored a goal, while the local team added three more goals to their tally, making the final score 6 to 1 in favour of New South Wales."
