Shirley Loses Top Player
One of the key players in the Shirley senior Rugby team’s rise to prominence in the last two or three years, R. A. Hicks, has been transferred to Wellington and will not play again this season. Hicks, the side’s first fiveeighths and a Canterbury Colts representative—and vice-captain—in 1964-65, was injured about a month ago and has not played in recent matches. He will move to Wellington on July 10. One of the first old boys of Shirley Boys’ High School to play both senior Rugby and senior cricket, Hicks played cricket with East Christchurch - Shirley. Although he played in each season between 1962-63 and 1965-66, Hicks never really fulfilled the potential he showed at school. This Rugby season, he has, with D Frampton, the halfback, been vital in Shirley’s run of successes after it lost the first two matches of the season.
