Overview

The 1950 Bunbury High School Boys Hockey Team in front of the school buildings

Historical information

J. Brooksby: A new player, he has adapted himself quickly to the right half position. Has plenty of stamina and a useful clearing shot. More experience and few football tactics should help him to improve his game.

R. Linto: Forms the right half of our very strong defence line. Sometimes finds he has a hole in his stick but usually plays to advantage. Tends to be a little over-confident at times; is a little slow at returning to the ball when beaten.

A. Scott: A solid left full back and the other half of our strong defence line. Sometimes draws back instead of going in with confidence. Has played in several representative teams for Bunbury, which speaks for itself.

A. Midgley: A very capable, levelheaded goal-keeper. Adapted himself conscientiously to this new and difficult position. Kicks and hits well and has achieved considerable success under some very adverse conditions.

M. Scott: A very reliable centre half. Could use his energy and stamina to more advantage.

P. Soulas: A small but fast left wing. Circumstances permitted him to play only a limited number of games this year.

E. Tacoma, B. Darnel and B. Nixon: Are all newcomers to the team and should improve with more experience. They should be an asset to the future school teams.

On behalf of the team, I will take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for the attention and advice given to us by Mr. Bennett and Mr. Speering. The patience with which they coached and fashioned us into some semblance of a team is beginning to show some promising results, as the premiership this year is not beyond our reach.
