threequarter time the local boys had a leeway of 8 goals to make up, and immediately on
commencing the final round the opposition booted two more goals and the game looked hopeless for
Braybroolk. At this moment the game took a remarkable turn and Braybrook took absolute control,
and the opposition seemed powerless. The captain, Ken Scott, seemed unbeatable. Bennie Ritchie
also was in the picture, and in the final 15 minutes eight straight goals were kicked, leaving the
opposition two goals one behind in front. Congratullations must certainly be given for the C grade's
lighting spirit and also for reaching the finals for 1944. This Saturday sees A grade meet Kingsville at
Spotswood in the second semi-final of their respective division, and a keen tussle is expected. We
have the visitors' room, and of course will wear white knickers.”
