Junior (under 13) XV

Played 6, Won 1, Lost 5

A physically small team with some promising and plucky boys in it. The captain, R. L. Smyth, set his men a fine example in tackling all comers of all sizes, and M. J. Mason was a really hard-working forward. The following played for the team :– I. F. L. Bevan, J. H. Bettinson, S. W. Bunce, K. E. Burrows, B. H. J. B. Cronin, J. M. Davies, M. Everitt, R. A. Fewtrell, S. Fone, D. A. Glass, M. J. Mason, C. F. Pass, D. G. Orchard, C. J. Osbaldeston, C. G. Rogers, G. H. Rothwell, J. F. Shackell, R. L. Smyth (Captain), I. R. W. Whitwam [sic].
