BRAYBROOK "A" MINOR PREMIERS
“Braybrook "A" Grade clinched the minor premiership last Saturday by decisively defeating Parksides.
This victory placed the Red and Blacks four points clear of their opponents, and as the bye is played
this weekend, and four more points assured, Braybrook are minor premiers for 1944. Saturday's form
convinced the committee and supporters that the premiership is well within our grasp now, and the
players have only to keep playing on, train regularly and co-operate together, and another flag will
be ours. Last Thursday's pie night was an outstanding success, and a few of our very keenest
supporters have donated a similar entertainment to the players next Thursday, after training, so a
full muster is expected.”
