1976 NSW Team v Tasmania

N.S.W. v TASMANIA
Following last year's dismal showing, in appalling conditions in Hobart, the state selectors knew just what type of players would be required, if N.S.W. was to defeat Tasmania, so they acted accordingly, and the following players were selected for the vital return match, under the leadership of Captain Coach John Caulfield.

SOUTH.WEST LEAGUE: Tom Doolan, Wayne Evans, Victor Hugo, Max Kruze, Greg Peris, Greg Smith, Colin Trevaskis
SYDNEY: John Caulfield, Alan Dudley, lan Harry, Grant Luhrs, Graeme Mclean
MURRAY LEAGUE: Jim Jewell, Stephen Way
FARRER LEAGUE: Gary Colvin, Peter Kirkwood, Greg Kuchel, Alan Langfield, Terry O'Keefe, Laurie Pendrick, Greg Sheather

The Sydney Showground was the venue for the match, and the staff there went out of their way to ensure that the ground was in tip top condition, and facilities all in order, for Sunday 11th July.

Tasmania, under Captain-Coach Peter Hudson, got away to a big start in the first quarter, kicking 6 goals 3 behinds, to N.S.W. three behinds. However, from the end of the first quarter, N.S.W. outscored Tasmania in every quarter, with the final siren having the scores at:
N.S.W. 0-3 5-10 9-21 18-2 (131)
Tasmania 6-3 10-6 15-7 18-13 (121)

The last quarter will long be remembered by N.S.W supporters, as their team kept hammering the opposition to take out the honours by 1O points.

A magnificent effort by Captain Coach John Caulfield, who, by his own example led his side fearlessly all day. Special mention should also be made of Terry O'Keefe, who won the Man of The Match Awards from the N.S.W. and Tasmania Selectors.

Congratulations went to the captain and coach, John Caulfield, and each member of the team, on your outstanding efforts. Congratulations was also put to the State Selectors, Barry Daley, Jack Dean, Don Durnan and Dick Smith, for their hard work throughout the Season.

The NSWAFL also offered their thanks to the Dr. George Clegg, the League doctor, and the trainers and officials with the Team for a job well done.
