Notes:
* Here’s the names of those in the photograph that I think I can remember (would be grateful if anyone can help me):
Standing (l to r): Mick Harpley; ??; Max Cowan; Paul Bardon; Jon Trevena; Graham Leggett; John Loughnan(?)
Kneeling (l to r): Ian McDonald; Steve Cameron; Kenny Marshall; Greg Mobbs (?); ??; ??.
* The last paragraph in the story below is about the what I have remembered above. I have said H grade above – though we may well have played G-grade for a couple of years running, I think many of us did. Other interesting points in the story are: Bruce Cameron scoring 4 tries for C-grade (Bruce is from the Cameron’s Bakery family); and a player in the E-grade scoring 2 “spectacular” tries – Des Hasler was his name. And, of course the 2 gentleman pictured … Teddy Cullen & Jim McGoogan are legends in the history of te club.
The kneeling player is Greg Parsons not Mobbs
OK. THanks Greg – can you identify any oof the others?
