Moncton Colleens basketball team: The Colleens
were organized in 1926, and, within two years were dominating their league. In
1928, they won the provincial championship, and lost to a Halifax team in the
Maritime final. In 1929, they again captured the provincial title, and lost the
Maritime crown to Halifax YWCA. Finally, in 1930, after claiming their third
successive New Brunswick title, the Colleens were victorious in the Maritime
championship, defeating the Nova Scotia champions easily in a two-game series.
In total, the Colleens won four N.B. championships, and their 1930 Maritime
senior title was the first for a Moncton women's team.
