This is the coaches’ report presented to the committee on July 24th 1958. “A team had won its last
two matches including a good win at Braybrook with a patched up team. List has been cut to 24
eligible players for finals, four of whom are injured.”

It was stated that “player Roberts had teeth knocked out and will need a dental plate” and the club
promised to assist with costs.

R. Cunningham advised the committee that he will be able to procure a radiogram for the dance
party.

The committee conducted an effort to aid T. McKenna who was a member of the club providing an
immediate donation of £6 per week and organising raffles to increase assistance. Prizes included a
standard lamp, an overnight bag and 6 towels.
