179 POINTS IN SEASON
A. W. WESNEY’S GOOD PERFORMANCE
A. W. Wesney, the Old Boys fiveeighth, scored 179 points during the season just closed. Most of the points were scored in goals kicked. Wesney has had a successful season and as was shown by his form in the representative games he was the outstanding all-round back in Southland. He played in the five-eighth, centre
three-quarter and full-back positions. There are no records to show that Wesney’s number of points is the best ever to be scored in a season in Southland, but it is possible that his 179 has not been beaten. E. H. Diack, one of the selectors of the Southland team, was a regular scorer of 100 and more points for a season.
