  • The top picture names of players:
    Back Row: Neil Newman, Dennis Gray, Mick Dellar, Mick Martin, Roy Cooper
    Front Row: Paul Whitehead, Don Christopher, Rob Howard, John Peters, Graham Lovett, Tony Hough

    trained by Mr Croughton, brilliant teacher and coach who tragically died of cancer aged 26 I believe. This team went unbeaten through the school year

  • I was one of the players in the first Cricket Trophy Finals which we won at Glebe School. I didn’t think it was really all that fair though. The winners got the Trophy, which we saw for a very, very short time before we went on to our secondary schools and the losers (Glebe School) got a medal each as runners up. Even the write up seems biased?
