Fourths Our season this year was remarkably good for we always presented ourselves on the field as a unit and we worked hard. Our Captain was Stewart Henderson who played centre half with improved skill throughout the season. Our other strong halfs were D. Chlebus and A. Stewart who charged the ball aggressively and played the ball up well. Though our fullbacks and goaltender were somewhat weak at times and allowed several poor goals, it should be noted that they played with spirit and D. Feliciant receives special recognition for noticeable improvement. Our fleet forwards did not have the kicking power and accuracy needed to overpower the opposition but they did score a number of well-earned goals. Special mention must go to Darren Williams who joined the team from ' B ' group and became our striker. He scored over 60% of our goals and initiated many drives. Fifths The Fifth Team enjoyed a successful season, improving its standard of play as the term went on. In September the team depended very much on the skill of one or two individuals, but by November it had developed into a complete TEAM, in the real sense of the word. The strength of the side lay in its ability to pass the ball well, and no players did this better than Mark Follows and Peter Mann. Robbie Milburn showed speed on the right wing; Rob Schneider, George Mann and Geoff Anderson all played well on occasions; and the defence of Paul Jaworski, Chris Humeniuk and Robert Archer coped more than adequately with the forwards of any opposing team, with the possible exception of Crescent. This was altogether an excellent season. RECORD: Played 9, Won 6, Tied 2, Lost 1. Goals For: 45 Goals. Goals Against: 6.

Thirds The third team had a mi.xed season at best, struggling to an even record in twelve games. A lack of scoring punch plus a slow-moving and inexperienced group of defenders left us struggling in many games. Several good performances were turned in by individuals, however. Dan Moses by mid-season was a great asset and Derek Mattimoe improved with every game. Paul Petersen (when playing) gave new zest to the team through his aggressive play. Steve Guthrie on attack played well but too often there was no one there to help him out. Seconds This was a mixed season for us. We had a very good team - good forwards, strong halfbacks, fullbacks with big kicks and Richard Schooling guarding the net. Our team gained greatly when three First teamers joined us. However, even though we played well and as a TEAM, the opponents were often better. Seconds didn ' t start off the season too well, with three straight losses. We improved quickly and had a five game winning streak. We lost one more game and were vic- torious for our remaining three. Our last game of the season was against the fathers. This game was a constant battle between D.J. and his dad. Mr. Nightengale starred in goal for the fathers and the dads emerged unfortunately as victors, 5- 2. I ' d like to give a special thanks to Coach Berriman for a great job. Wins 5 Losses 4 R. Buysschaert Ties 2 FRONT ROW: Petersen, Moses, Bascombe, Bannister, Gardner, Galway, Leach.

By far, this year ' s 6th Soccer Team was the best I ' ve seen in a long time. The players were small in stature but large in determination. Many of the young boys developed their kicking and passing skills very quickly. Our forward lines were very fast in making plays, especially Eckert and Washington - the two Scotts! Our team Captain, Nick Jelinek, played the game very well and demonstrated good team leadership and sportsmanship throughout the season. Our halfbacks, led by Patrick Neumann, were skilled in clearing the ball up the field out of danger. Our fullbacks and two goal keepers had their weak moments, but nevertheless, they worked extremely hard to protect their zone. All in all, I was pleased with the great sportsmanship and total effort displayed by all team members. This has been a vintage year, for our teams have been extremely successful, the general attitude has been determined, and a new event has been inaugurated. We have also been blessed with unusually pleasant fall weather which has helped to make the running a real pleasure. As is now tradition the competitive season was crowded into a short period. In the second week of October a team of seven ran in the Brock High School Meet. There were one huiidred and twenty- five runners, so it was a rare pleasure to see Toby Bronson and Andrew Ross leading the field for the first part of the race. Although they did not maintain this position, they finished fifth and seventh, better by far than any of our runners have done previously. With the arrival of Michael Genereux and Nicholas Nightingale our team finished in third position out of seventeen par- ticipating schools - a notable achievement which will be hard to match and harder to beat. Two days later we held the Independent Schools ' Championship at Appleby. With more teams than usual taking part, we still managed to win convincingly. Toby Bronson broke the course record by six seconds, but he needed the close support of Nicholas Nightingale, Richard Archer and Christian De Josselin De Jong for the team to finish ahead of Hillfield. Our under-12 team also won, but James Mairs, the winner, Scott Washington, Robert Archer and Mark Follows had to push themselves in order to nose our St. George ' s, Vancouver. Then the following week came the tribal meet with every boy in the school running. We were treated to some stout-hearted performances, particularly by Toby Bronson who beat the previous course record by twenty-one seconds.
