However the Management (.'•ninnutter is doing everything possible in keep tinflag flying, and it, is hoped that (Mayers will show increased interest in i-lic wo! fare of the dug, Fortunately tho juvenile players under Sid, Cmuelir-r’s tut'elegc, are as keen mustard, and so far have liomi undefeated in the fourth class competition. This augurs well for the senior teams of the future, and :if they can carry on for a year or two, no doubt the swing of the pendulum will restore prosperity.
