This season, competition for places in the 2nd XI squad was fiercer than usual, and the high
standard of football produced by this led to a very successful season. The most memorable
performance was against Quinton/Kynaston at Bannister: after being held to 1-1 at half-time,
we finally ran out winners, 13-1. At the start of the season the team was skippered by John
Flanagan until he left to keep goal for the 1st XI. His place as 'keeper was ably filled by P.
Necchi, while the burdens of captaincy were shared by D. Pitt and S. Hennessy. On a number of
occasions Buckler and Hennessy were also selected for the 1st XI. The team played consistently
throughout the season, scoring in every match, with Pitt and Carney topping the goalscorers'
list. Next season the 2nd XI take part in the newly-formed 2nd XI League. Thanks are due to the
team's manager/coach/trainer/home referee/selector/chief tactician, Mr. E. Murphy, whose work
and advice helped the team to its successful season.
