After a disappointing start, this team reached the high standard set by Junior Colts teams of recent seasons. This improvement was brought about by the keenness of all who turned up for the weekly fixtures, whether they managed to get a place in the side or not, and also to several positional changes. M. G. Smith was outstanding amongst a hard-running set of backs, and R. D. Hall, on returning to the pack, added much fire which had been lacking in the earlier games. A very promising newcomer was J. H. Comer.
The following played : P. Bowler, J. C. Bowman, R. J. Casbeard, M. M. Clarke, J. H. Comer, R. J. Coppock, G. H. Cunnold, J. H. Dawes, T. E. Dedman, P. M. Dronfield, S. N. M. Evans, R. W. Fox, M. F. Gillett, R. D. Hall, B. R. Harding, E. Holdship, J. A. Johnson, R. King, G. D. Nash, A. Payne, A. A. Perfect, M. D. H. Priestley, W. E. G. Prior, J. S. Simpson (Captain), G. F. Smith, M. G. Smith, J. O. Smith, R. A. O. Stockwell, B. A. Torrens-Burton, M. F. Turner, A. R. Watters, A. R. Williams, P. J. Yates.
