1978 NSW (Under 15) Shell Cup team

How about this one?

We have taken the following from a report on the match and repaired some mistakes we found, but not all.

The New South Wales team consisted of the following boys:
T Thripp (Newcastle.) A. Evans (Sydney), B. Atkins (Sydney), M. Davey (Sydney), A. Chillcott (Illawarra), S. Boyer (Southern Riverina), H. Kotzur (Southern Riverina), G. Flower (Southern Riverina) A. Hughes (Western Riverina), B. Toohey (Western Riverina), M. Taylor (Western Riverina), J. Walton (Western Riverina), P. Bassett (Western Riverina), B. Fleming (Western Riverina), T. McLaurin (Western Riverina), S. Lieschke (Eastern Riverina), S. White (Eastern Riverina), C. Fellows, (Eastern Riverina), R. Simpson (Broken Hill), D. McGreehan (Broken Hill), G. Manual (Broken Hill),
B. Lindengreen (Broken Hill), J. Griffin (Broken Hill), R. Anderson (Riverina), A. Herrick (Riverina),

Coach:- Mr. Bruce Beehag (Western Riverina), Manager:- Mr. R. Soden (Southern Riverina), Trainer:-Mr. W. Grentell (Wagga).

B. Lindengreen broke his leg a few days prior to the start of the Carnival, so the Broken Hill contingent included B. Stenhouse in their squad. Owing to injuries, Stenhouse was only used in the final game.

Injuries and illness made things extremely difficult for the coach to select a team. On the day the team assembled, the group had a case of food poisoning, glandular fever, a broken leg and a wrist taken out of plaster after a break, so we were extremely lucky to have a team.

The Carnival’s Best & Fairest Award, the Arthur Bridgewater Trophy was won by Glen Sheppard of Tasmania.

N.S.W won two games and lost one with a percentage of 144.44, finishing on top of the table over Tasmania, Queensland and the ACT.
