Ex High Gold takes lead in Eastern Southland Comp...1971

Ex High Gold took the lead in the Eastern Southland Competition when it beat St Mary's A 25-15.
They never looked like being beaten especially with a half time score of 12-5.
It was not just the superior court work of Ex High but the accurate shooting of St Mary's, Gillian Adiar (goat attack) and Janice O'Brien (goal shoot), the latter having her first game in A grade.  If they had have got more ball the score would have reflected the game, but it was the defence of Ex High that stopped the ball reaching the circle.
Ex High's defence of Lynette Kerr (goal defence) and Glenda Knowles (wing defence) made lots of brillant interceptions.

High School A have a surprise win over Ex High Blue...1971

The early season fitness of the young team coupled with a better court combination were the main reason for the winning score of 24-21.
Good play by its centre, Julie Standish and strong defence work in the circle by goal keeper, Sandra Heffernen kept School to the fore througout the game.
