7st A - Metropolitan Premiers
To mention individual players, in team work, is not to favour them at the
expense of the others, for all must play their cart equally well. However, mention
must be made of John Wiley, who captained the team well, of Ron. Dolby, whose
boot helped on many occasions, of Rix, with his inspired running. Space does not
permit mentioning here the others of whom much could be said.
From the school, then, to the 7 A Premiers, "Congratulations! Well Done!"
(And congratulations, too, to the coach, Mr. Law, whose enthusiasm knew
no bounds. Ed. >
7 Stone B
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
This team won three games, drew one, and lost three. The captain was
J. Willis, who was promoted to the 7 stone A team for the last few games of
the season. The team improved greatly throughout the season. The top try
scorer was J. Dowding with 10 tries.
The football used by this team was the famous "Doube highly inflated" ball.
Unfortunately, this football disappeared after the last game, souvenired, no doubt,
on account of the famous name associated with it. L. O'M.
