Coaches reports for the 1954 season “stated that although the A team did not win premiership, it
was a most successful season because of the fact that the club gained new players of the highest
calibre.
Mr White reporting on B team stated that the 1954 season was quite a successful season although
the team failed to make the final four. There are quite a few good players and the team look forward
to a better season next year.” The end of season footy trip was a great success where forty players
travelled to Maryborough.
“In 1895, Mark Twain visited Maryborough, which he dryly observed as being: "A railway station
with a town attached.”
