Bonds above codes
The footballing men of Marist had an informal gettogether in the Marist-West-ern Suburbs Rugby League Club’s rooms at Bishopdale on Saturday evening. Earlier in the day the Marist-Western premier side had beaten Linwood at the Show Grounds to gain an unassailable lead in the Tavendale Cup competition. The inevitable celebrations were under way when the Marist Rugby Club’s senior players and officials arrived to add their congratulations. It has been an outstandingly successful season for both teams, and their records are remarkably similar. They lead their respective competitions, and have dropped only one point each — the rugby side has had eight wins and a draw, and its rugby league counterpart six wins and a draw. Officials of both teams were agreed that the traditional bonds between Marist clubs transcended any rivalry between the codes. Several of the players have another common sporting interest, as teammates for the Marist Cricket Club in the summer season.
