1961 NSW Under 14 State Team

This photo was taken at Trumper Park in front of the then recently constructed 'Frank Dixon Grandstand'. The team played two games that year, both against Canberra. In the first at the ACT there was only one goal kicked in the entire match. The NSW team were soundly beaten in the return match at Trumper Park a few weeks later.

While we have the names of the players and staff which appear on the image, can anyone identify the players and their position in the image. If so, please email us.
