The 1972/3 Rugby team
Mark Dempsey helped with many names here, we think that there were 2 teams, a junior team, maybe U18? and an "Open age" team and both these teams are pictured here in 1972/73 season. I believe this was the last time we played for the apprentice cup and it looks like we won them both..
| Flt Lt Mott | Kevin Partridge 225 | Paul Smith 231 | Paul Wilson 231 | Bob McAlpine 121 | Dave Horton Jones 226 | Dixie Dean 227 | Paul Lumley 225 | Jim Simpson 226 | Colin Dryburgh 225 | Paul Riddle 227 | Graham Tibbets 227 | Cpl Burton |
| Eric Parsons 227 | Sean Treadwell 121 | Terry Hunt 227 | "Lefty" Wright 120 | Brian Duncan 227 | Mark Sanders 227 | "Taff" George 225 | ?? | Kevin Brophy 226 | Paddy Macgloughlan 231 | Bill Brown 121 |
This picture probably covers 225-231 and 118-121 entries. It seems to be the "junior", maybe U18 team. Thats the Apprentice cup we are proudly displaying.
I seem to remember that Eric Parsons kicked a Penalty to take the win. Unfortunately I wasn't actually at the game because of a broken leg from a practice just before the game.
I was pushed to the medical center on a pushbike and told to "walk up and down a bit" Meanwhile Paul Smith, a star player, got there in the ambulance. He was OK.. Then they reluctantly
gave me a bed, next morning after my leg turned blue I was sent for an x-ray!!
That's me third from left in the front row, If you look carefully you'll see that my left leg
is in a plaster cast. Lefty Wright, the ratbag to my left did it during a practice game, maybe thats why he looks so happy!
Can you help with the last name?
This is the 72/73 Apprentice "Open Age" team some of the better players are in both teams and it looks like we won that cup as well!
