wonder if Davy has glue on his fing- ers for we don't remember having ever seen him muff a ball.
"Ab~" Topp-Outside wing. One of the greatest assets of the team. He was down on every kick and the chaps he tackled thought they had been hit by a freight train.
Pete Bernhardt - Outside wing. Pete has developed into one of the best outsides we know of in the

Claire Sproule - Outside wing. Claire was a terror to the other teams, outsides and half backs.
Don McDermid-Half back. Don pulled the team out of m',any a hole with his smashnig plunges and his clever tackling.
