It's hard to say which has lasted the test of time the best. |
Andy Day (aka "Bud") kept a record of the 1971/2 tournament.
It shows that Wayne Smith
was the top scorer with 13 goals
followed by John Rees with nine. |
Andy Day kept a record of the 1970/1 tournament for the Unit's
"B" team.
The "B" team were knocked out by eventual runners up, Dragons VSU.
Wayne Smith recalls: "If I'm not mistaken this team sheet for the B team was for the 1970/1 competition. The A team consisted of Nick Rodger,
Ian Spencer, Wayne Smith, Ewen Anderson and 2 others who I can't remember. We, (the A team), got to the semi finals but we were beaten by Battersea VSU 2-0.
I remember Ian got into an altercation with one of the opposition and it got a bit messy!!!!!!" |
