21 With a lead of 2-1 our strength petered out in the dying minutes, allowing the opposition their equalising goal. This was perhaps our best game of the season OS far as skillful playing and determination goes and had we kept up to this standord throughout the season perhaps our record would have been better. J. R. SIGGINS, Sr. V. JUNIOR LEAGUE For the third consecutive year, the School ' s under thirteen players won the coveted trophy for the B.S.S.A. Junior League Football Competition. The com- petition was ogain conducted in one league and Saltus drew only one home again. In the School ' s first encounter at Dellwood, goals by C. S. Brown and P. S. Welch, paved the way for an encouraging 3-1 victory. In their only home match against Sandys, the School were hardly extended in winning comfortably by eight goals against a youthful but plucky opposition. In the next two matches, the eleven showed their ability to come from behind. At Warwick, although always behind until the last few minutes of play, a concerted drive resulted in the winning goal only seconds from the final whistle. At Cavendish, the following week, the School team was one down almost from the start. The margin of play slowly but surely swung and adapting to the confines of a smaller field, the School snatched the equaliser and were unlucky not to win. The final game against Gilbert Institute would decide the competition winners, and again playing on a small field, the boys settled right down to ploy constructive football and a goal in each half by Tyler Moniz set the stage for the successful defense of the league title. Junior League Players: J. C. Conyers improved rapidly in goal. P. M. Lamont and Moulder proved a solid defence with R. Lines as reserve. P. G. Leighton was a steady and constructive wing half, while M. F. J. Barritt on occasions, added to the attack. B. W. Mollis and P. S. Welch combined well in attack on the right side, P. A. Card worked hard both defensively and on attack, while C. S. Brown filled the centre spot with drive, Tyler Moniz, experienced left winger, was the out- standing forward and always a dangerous player when on the move. R. J. Ahern controlled the play from the centre half position and proved a capable captain. Results: S.G.S. 3 Dellwood 1 8 Sandys 0 3 Warwick 2 1 Cavendish 1 2 Gilbert 0 P.S.W
