Your Fondest Memory of the time.....Being only 16 - 17 years old, it was great to have so many people who you could count on as friends.

I won the Junior Boys Plate event at Boomerang in 1972. and was in successful winning Pennant Teams in 1972-73 Summer it was in E5, and in 1975 Winter I was in the winning D3 Team with a couple of my great mates that I looked up to. The team members were John O'Sullivan, Bob McCormick, Terry Lynch, Mike Shiel, Peter Prickett, Jim Walker.

Along with my team mates that won the E5 Pennant in 1972-73 we also won the Team Incentive points trophy at the club. My mates were Rob Creevey, Craig Gibson, Dave Harvey and Robert (Cook) Pederson.

In the first year playing at Durack Country Club, our team won the first pennant for that club.
