1912 NSW Schoolboys Team

A poor photograph we found in the Sydney Sun from 9 August, 1912. This team played a number of matches in Queensland in August 1912. The team was comprised of Kinnamont, Gordon, John Hotchkiss, Walter Checkley, Saunders. Clythe Whaley, Butcher, Richards, Murray, Lee, J. and W. Daley, Wardrop, Poll, Hartley, Edward Veroli, Walker, Sam Smallhorn ; emergencies, Woodbury, Peters. The coach was Billy Prince of the South Sydney Club, who represented the PSAAA and manager, George Perry of the Burwood Superior School.

The maximum age for these lads was set at 14 years and 3 months.

Some of these lads were enlisted to fight in WWI.
