This was one of the best teams we have had in recent years. The defence was sohd, fast, and boasted several players who could clear the ball at least half the length of the field. Out- standing in this department were Dave Bowen in goal, Chris Chapman at half back and Mark Freeman at half back also. The forwards made up for lack of ball control by making the most of occasional opportunities to score. Peter Senst proved to be a prolific goal scorer, with Rob Reid showing plenty of ability on the left wing. Rob was occasionally so fast in his moves that the ball failed to keep up with him; many promising attacks came to nought as a result of the ball ' s inability to keep up with the forwards. However, Won 5, Tied 1, Lost 3 is a creditable record- well done. J.B. The Third team had an ex- tremely successful season and were undefeated in thirteen games. Most of the credit for this must go to a few key players who made outstanding contributions to the team but, as is always the case, many fine performances were turned in by every player on the team. Richard Archer and John Kirkpatrick had particularly strong seasons and their play, combined with the energetic and enthusiastic play of the rest of the team more than compensated for a lack of defensive skill which was evident occasionally.

The most impressive aspect of this year ' s team was their con- tinuous progress and effort. They molded themselves into a ' team ' in the true sense of the word. Although some players stood out, no one player deserves all the credit. As a group they should be congratulated for their spirit and drive to become a vdnning team. A special mention of Mann must be made since his leadership on and off the field was an example for all to follow. The keys to our attack were the strong two-way play of Petersen, Barr and Thomson at half com- bined with the ever-present threat of Mann and Bronson as strikers. As our vkringers became more potent and the defense anchored itself around Strucken, these players made their presence felt at the opponent ' s goal. Coach ' s Quips Icabod Martin: I hope his legs stop stretching. Zenon Petersen: a future place kicker for the Argos. Major Mann: — Bionic heart - he doesn ' t check an opponent, just flattens them! Fuzzy Thomson: soccer en- cyclopedia who needs a ' Double D rocket assist on each hip. Barr, Krane: The Mighty Midgets Magilla Guthrie: a gorilla in goal. The Terrible Toby Bronson: the major ' s right hand man with fast feet and a quick mind. Mr. Bailey First Soccer 12 : K FRONT ROW: Sidford, Fournier, Ross, Mann, Barr, Krane, Strucken. MIDDLE ROW: Petersen, Vernon, Duncan, Guthrie, Bronson, Martin. BACK ROW; Mr. Bailey, Thompson.

4th S occer Our team played very capably this year. New recruits like Evans, Mairs, and Home gave us added speed and endurance while Buysschaert and McMenemy showed considerable talent. At best, our goaltending was adequate and the same could be said of our defense. We did try, however, to keep the ball well up the field and our tactics on throw- ins worked very effectively. Two of our numbers worked especiaUy hard throughout the season and gave of themselves unstintingly - Dawood and Nightingale. Our captain was Simon Lee. Mr. Boyd FRONT ROW; Buysschaert, Mairs, Lee, Evans, Home, Crawford. BACK ROW: Mr. Boyd, Graham, Nightingale, McMenemy, Bruce, Schooling, Dawood. 5th S occer - During September and most of October this team played very well. It was soon clear that the half-back line and defence would be strong. Both Evan Wood and Dan Moses made excellent defence players, while K.C. Bascombe kept goal for all but the last match. Scott Miller and Rob Schneider developed into at- tacking wring halves, who could also be relied on to hustle back quickly to help the defence, George Mann, at centre half, had his on and off days, but always played very hard. On the forward line, Paul Petersen was the main threat to the opposition; however he spoilt too many plays by failing to control the ball or cross it back away from the goalkeeper. In the other positions, Jed Gardner, Geoff Anderson, Mark Follows and Peter Mann all improved steadily as the season went on. Unfortunately, in late October, the team went into a slump , and after losing closely (2-1), to a strong Crescent team, they again FRONT ROW: Schneider, G. Mann, Millar, Moses, Harlow, P.

However they pulled themselves together for the last match and played very well against Hillfield to win deser- vedly, 4-0. SEASON RECORD GP 9 W 6 GF 25 GA 6
